Haṃsa–Sādhya Saṃvāda: Satya, Dama, Kṣamā and the Discipline of Speech
सक्तबुद्धिरशान्तात्मा न शक्यं तच्चिकित्सितुम् । स्नेहपाशसितो मूढो न स मोक्षाय कल्पते
saktabuddhir aśāntātmā na śakyaṃ tac cikitsitum | sneha-pāśa-sito mūḍho na sa mokṣāya kalpate ||
ଭୀଷ୍ମ କହିଲେ—ଯାହାର ବୁଦ୍ଧି ବିଷୟରେ ଆସକ୍ତ ଓ ଅନ୍ତରାତ୍ମା ଅଶାନ୍ତ, ତାକୁ ସଠିକ୍ କରିବା କଠିନ। ସ୍ନେହପାଶରେ ବନ୍ଧା ମନୁଷ୍ୟ ମୋହଗ୍ରସ୍ତ ହୋଇ ମୋକ୍ଷଯୋଗ୍ୟ ହୁଏ ନାହିଁ।

Educational Q&A
Attachment to sense-objects and emotional bondage (sneha-pāśa) produces inner restlessness and delusion; without calming the mind and loosening attachment, one is not qualified for mokṣa.
In Śānti Parva’s instruction on dharma and liberation, Bhīṣma advises the listener that certain mental conditions—sense-attachment, agitation, and bondage through clinging affection—make spiritual correction difficult and obstruct the path to liberation.
