Educational Q&A
That the highest instruction is knowledge of nirguṇa Brahman—ultimate reality beyond qualities and the guṇas—taught by a realized teacher to worthy disciples, leading toward liberation.
Bhīṣma cites the example of the revered sage Ātreya: after being honored, he teaches his disciples the doctrine of the attributeless Brahman and then departs to the highest realms, illustrating the ideal completion of a teacher’s life—teaching and transcendence.
