Detailed explanation-1: -Nirvana is the goal of the Buddhist path, and marks the soteriological release from worldly suffering and rebirths in saṃsāra. Nirvana is part of the Third Truth on “cessation of dukkha” in the Four Noble Truths, and the “summum bonum of Buddhism and goal of the Eightfold Path."
Detailed explanation-2: -In line with the above discussion, Nirvana is not devoid of awareness, but rather it relates to ‘a transformed state of consciousness’ (in the words of Johansson 1969, p. 111) that is aware of ‘emptiness’, empty of all conditioned things, which represents Nirvana.
Detailed explanation-3: -By wisdom, therefore, the Buddha means full understanding, which is possible only when one knows it at the level of personal experience. The Buddha says that real knowledge which is nothing but wisdom can be attained by knowing the impermanent nature of all objects we hanker after and annihilating cravings for them.
