Educational Q&A
Freedom from rebirth comes when the desire to continue embodied existence—even in subtle or exalted forms—is absent; then, at death, one departs and does not take birth again.
Bhīṣma is instructing on the fate of a spiritually accomplished person: at the time of departure, having no longing for continued embodiment, he leaves the body and is not reborn.
