भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
The Supreme Self (Paramatma/Parabrahman) pervades all qualities and elements and dwells within all embodied knowers (kṣetrajñas). Liberation is described as the self’s departure beyond senses and prakṛti, culminating in attainment of the imperishable Narayana who is beyond dualities and māyā.
In Shanti Parva’s instruction section, Bhishma continues his philosophical counsel to King Yudhishthira, explaining how the Supreme pervades the cosmos and how mind, senses, and karmic residues accompany the individual self—until, through transcendence of prakṛti, the self reaches the Supreme.
