Qualities of bhishma:

Ø  Bhishma had a stature and personality that in those times were fit for kings.

Ø  He was a true Kshatriya as well as a disciplined ascetic a rare combination

Ø  he never unnecessarily exhibited the passion and anger.

Ø  A symbol of truth and duty, the benevolent Bhishma was in all senses a true human.

Ø  It is unfortunate that a person as noble as Bhishma saw a life full of loneliness, frustration and grief.

Ø  But that was how Vashishta's curse was supposed to unfold. Bhishma's human birth was destined to be marked with suffering, and that was how his life transpired right till the last moment

Ø  even his death was very painful.

Ø  But the strong as steel character which he possessed ensured that he never shied away from his duty, and never stopped loving those dear to him.

Ø Bhishma was not only a good warrior, but also highly skilled in political science

Ø . He tried his best to bring reconciliation between Pandavas and Kauravas to prevent the war.

Ø Even in the Kurukshetra war while he was the general he tried his best to keep the war low key by minimising confrontation between the two camps

Ø Even as he fell he tried to use the opportunity to persuade both camps to put an end to the war.

Ø After the war, while on his deathbed he gave deep and meaningful instructions to Yudhishthira on statesmanship and the duties of a king.
