Educational Q&A

Bhīṣma teaches that supreme peace is not distant: a person who genuinely seeks inner excellence and is qualified for liberation can attain tranquility quickly when the taught knowledge is not merely heard but properly integrated into conduct and understanding.

In the Śānti Parva’s instruction section, Bhīṣma addresses the son of Kuntī and concludes a strand of teaching by affirming its practical efficacy: the knowledge just expounded, when rightly assimilated by a mokṣa-seeker, leads swiftly to peace.
