Adhyāya 178 — The courses of prāṇa-vāyu and the regulation of the bodily fire
भीष्म उवाच सर्वसाम्यमनायासं सत्यवाक्यं च भारत । निर्वेदश्चाविधित्सा च यस्य स्यात् स सुखी नर:,भीष्मजीने कहा--भारत! सबमें समताका भाव, व्यर्थ परिश्रमका अभाव, सत्यभाषण, संसारसे वैराग्य और कर्मासक्तिका अभाव--ये पाँचों जिस मनुष्यमें होते हैं, वह सुखी होता है
bhīṣma uvāca sarva-sāmyam anāyāsaṃ satya-vākyaṃ ca bhārata | nirvedaś cāvidhitsā ca yasya syāt sa sukhī naraḥ ||
ଭୀଷ୍ମ କହିଲେ—ହେ ଭାରତ! ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ସମଭାବ, ଅନାବଶ୍ୟକ ପରିଶ୍ରମର ଅଭାବ, ସତ୍ୟବାକ୍ୟ, ସଂସାର ପ୍ରତି ନିର୍ବେଦ (ବୈରାଗ୍ୟ) ଏବଂ କର୍ମରେ ତୃଷ୍ଣାଜନିତ ଆସକ୍ତିର ଅଭାବ—ଯାହାରେ ଥାଏ, ସେଇ ନର ସୁଖୀ।

Educational Q&A
Happiness is grounded in inner discipline: impartiality toward all beings, avoiding pointless strain, speaking truth, becoming disenchanted with worldly compulsions, and not being driven by craving-based attachment to action.
In the Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and the means to peace after the war; here he defines the qualities by which a person becomes genuinely happy.
