अध्याय २९४ — योगलक्षणम् तथा सांख्यपरिसंख्यानम्
Yoga Definition and Sāṃkhya Enumeration
यदा व्यपेतहल्लेखं मनो भवति तस्य वै | नानृतं चैव भवति तदा कल्याणमृच्छति,जब मनुष्यका मन कामना और कर्म-संस्कारोंसे रहित हो जाता है तथा वह मिथ्याचारसे रहित हो जाता है, उस समय उसे कल्याणकी प्राप्ति होती है
yadā vyapetahallekhaṁ mano bhavati tasya vai | nānṛtaṁ caiva bhavati tadā kalyāṇam ṛcchati ||
Wika ni Parāśara: Kapag ang isip ng tao ay naging malaya sa mga dungis na iniwan ng mapaminsalang pagnanasa at mga bakas ng nakaraang gawi, at kapag siya’y malaya rin sa kasinungalingan at panlilinlang, saka niya nakakamit ang tunay na kagalingan—ang mapalad na kabutihang espirituwal.

Educational Q&A
Welfare (kalyāṇa) arises from inner purification: the mind must be cleansed of harmful stains/impulses and one must abandon untruth. Ethical truthfulness and mental clarity together are presented as the direct cause of spiritual good.
In Śānti Parva’s instruction-oriented setting, Parāśara delivers a concise teaching on self-discipline: he defines the condition under which a person reaches kalyāṇa—when the mind is free from taints and one’s conduct is free from falsehood.
