The question is not about understanding the meaning of Moksha, but about understanding the underlying concept of liberating your state of mind.
Moksha — also called vimoksha, vimukti, and mukti — is a term in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism that refers to various forms of emancipation, enlightenment, liberation, and release. (Wikipedia)
But Moksha is not just a word discovered by saints or sadhus; it is, rather, a quiet part of everyone’s life. Believe it or not, everyone around us is working toward a single end goal — call it Moksha.
What is more important is to understand how easily we choose to ignore it, and mistake one of our milestones for the end goal of life.
The beauty of it is this: how many times have we wondered why we aren’t happy after achieving something we longed for so long? Why success so often comes with the sadness of it being over? Why it is so hard to come to an end?
Think again — and I hope you will realize that these were never the real end goals. Moksha was.
Everything we are attached to is one step toward it. And we will look for the longer answer together, in the articles to come.
