Educational Q&A

Realization of the highest truth requires inner calm and purity of conduct: restrain mind, speech, and senses through discriminative intellect; then transcend even that discriminative activity through Self-knowledge, culminating in absorption of the individual self into the Supreme.

In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on dharma and liberation, Bhishma continues advising Yudhishthira, presenting a contemplative discipline: progressive inward withdrawal and stilling of faculties leading to direct realization of the Supreme.
