Haṃsa–Sādhya Saṃvāda: Satya, Dama, Kṣamā and the Discipline of Speech
अपत्यानां च वैगुण्यं जनं विगुणमेव च । पश्यन् भूयिष्ठशो लोके को मोक्ष नाभिपूजयेत्
apatyānāṁ ca vaiguṇyaṁ janaṁ viguṇam eva ca | paśyan bhūyiṣṭhaśo loke ko mokṣaṁ nābhipūjayet ||
毗湿摩说道：“在此世间，人甚至要目睹自己子女缺乏德行之苦；也会与品性相悖或有缺失之人结下牵连。既见此处人生大抵充满这般忧患，谁还能不敬重并求取解脱（moksha）呢？”

Educational Q&A
Worldly life repeatedly confronts one with moral and emotional distress—even through one’s own family and social ties—so valuing moksha is a rational and ethical response grounded in dispassion (vairagya).
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on dharma and the goals of life, Bhishma continues advising Yudhishthira by pointing to common worldly disappointments as reasons a thoughtful person should esteem liberation.
