Educational Q&A
Freedom from all heart-rooted desires leads to a mind established in sattva (clarity and purity), and from that inner steadiness arises realization of Brahman.
In Shanti Parva, Bhishma instructs Yudhishthira on dharma and the path to inner peace; here he describes the psychological and ethical condition—cessation of desire—that culminates in spiritual realization.
