Adhyātma–Adhibhūta–Adhidaivata Correspondences and the Triguṇa Lakṣaṇas (Śānti-parva 301)
ज्ञानविज्ञानसम्पन्ना: कारणैभाविता: शुभा: | प्राप्तुवन्ति शुभं मोक्ष सूक्ष्मा इव नभ: परम्
jñānavijñānasampannāḥ kāraṇair bhāvitāḥ śubhāḥ | prāpnuvanti śubhaṃ mokṣaṃ sūkṣmā iva nabhaḥ param ||
भीष्म म्हणाले— जे ज्ञान व विज्ञानाने संपन्न आहेत आणि ज्यांचे अंतःकरण शुभ कारणांनी—शुद्ध साधना व सम्यक् बोधाने—परिष्कृत झाले आहे, ते कल्याणमय मोक्ष प्राप्त करतात; सूक्ष्म होऊन ते परम आकाशासारख्या सर्वोच्च विस्तारात लीन होतात।

Educational Q&A
Liberation is attained by those who unite jñāna (right understanding) with vijñāna (lived, discriminative realization) and who are inwardly purified by the proper causes—disciplines and conditions that refine the mind—becoming subtle enough to reach the supreme state.
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on peace, dharma, and the paths to the highest good. Here he summarizes the destiny of accomplished seekers: purified knowers attain auspicious mokṣa, likened to subtle beings merging into the highest sky.
