Shloka 56
मनु-उपदेशः — भूत-उत्पत्ति, इन्द्रिय-निवृत्ति, तथा पर-स्वभाव-विवेकः
Manu’s Instruction on Elemental Origination, Sense-Withdrawal, and Discrimination of the Supreme Nature
एतां बुद्ध्वा नर: सर्वा भूतानामागतिं गतिम् | अवेक्ष्य च शनैर्बुद्धया लभते शमनं तत:
etāṁ buddhvā naraḥ sarvā bhūtānām āgatiṁ gatiṁ | avekṣya ca śanair buddhyā labhate śamanaṁ tataḥ ||
毗湿摩说：既已明了此理——一切众生如何来去往复，其到来与离去的循环轨迹——若有人继而以清明的辨识，持之以恒、循序渐进地观照审察，便于其后获得真实的止息与安抚：由清净灵性之智所生的至上安宁。

Educational Q&A
By understanding the cyclical coming-and-going of beings (saṁsāra) and reflecting on it steadily with discernment, one gains purified spiritual insight that culminates in śamana—deep inner pacification and supreme peace.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction section, Bhishma continues advising on liberation-oriented wisdom: he points to contemplative inquiry into the transient movement of life as the method by which a seeker gradually reaches lasting peace.
