Educational Q&A
Through disciplined vows and one-pointed concentration (dhāraṇā) at specific inner loci, the yogin unites the subtle self with the Supreme; this higher yoga can rapidly consume accumulated good and bad karma, culminating in liberation.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction to the king, Bhishma continues his exposition on yogic practice and liberation, describing how a focused ascetic uses meditative concentration to transcend karmic accumulation and attain moksha.
