Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
ये त्वव्यक्तात् परं नित्यं जानते शास्त्रतत्परा: । जन्ममृत्युविमुक्त च विमुक्तं सदसच्च यत्
ye tv avyaktāt paraṁ nityaṁ jānanti śāstra-tatparāḥ | janma-mṛtyu-vimuktaṁ ca vimuktaṁ sad-asac ca yat ||
毗湿摩说道：“唯有笃志研习并奉行经典者，方能了知那超越无显（普拉克里蒂，Prakṛti）的至上者：常住不变，离生离死，真得解脱，并超越有与无。”

Educational Q&A
Steady devotion to śāstra—study, reflection, and disciplined living—leads to realization of the Supreme Reality beyond Prakriti (the Unmanifest), which is eternal and untouched by birth and death, and which transcends conceptual opposites like being and non-being.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on dharma and liberation, Bhishma continues teaching Yudhishthira, emphasizing that true knowledge of the Supreme arises for those who are steadfast in scriptural discipline and seek freedom from saṁsāra.
