Educational Q&A

Bhīṣma warns that even a seeker who has ‘taken refuge in mokṣa’ may still carry subtle attachments. These attachments can persist in refined forms and operate through a structured set of tendencies (described as fourfold activity) and are to be recognized as specific ‘loci’ (six stations) that must be understood and overcome.

In the Śānti Parva’s instruction to Yudhiṣṭhira, Bhīṣma continues a didactic sequence on liberation and inner discipline. Here he transitions to listing and explaining additional subtle factors—six ‘places’ where attachment can remain—asking the king to listen carefully to this nuanced teaching.
