Educational Q&A
The body is the locus of a dual truth: it is subject to death, yet it can also be the field in which one realizes the deathless (amṛta) through right understanding and disciplined living.
In Śānti Parva’s instruction section, Bhīṣma continues advising on higher dharma and inner knowledge, framing embodied existence as containing both mortality and the possibility of attaining the imperishable.
