Educational Q&A

Liberation is marked by inner freedom from craving and possessive, pleasure-seeking attitudes—here exemplified as the absence of objectifying desire toward women—maintained through steady yogic discipline and clear self-awareness.

In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on dharma and moksha, Bhishma continues advising on self-mastery: he defines a practical sign of true freedom as the mind’s settled detachment, verified repeatedly through honest inner observation.
