In Hindu tradition, moksha is the ultimate aim to be attained during a life’s journey through Dharma, Artha and Kama - called Purushartha. Moksha is a psychological & emotional stage as understood by Religious Philosophical discussions related to death.
Moksha in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism discusses on mukti (detachment) from karma (doesn’t mean NO ACTION, but take it easy and be devoted), liberation from Dharma (it is being for Self-Family-Social-Whole World; realizing you are part of the single entity – GOD and again get devoted), emancipation from life (Samsara/Prarabhda is only a temporary stage and all have to go one day, understanding everything is temporary will give a relief), and self-realization, self-actualization, self-knowledge or enlightenment. Happiness / Liberation / Freedom attained in LIFE is practically Moksha. Moksha is also known as Jeevanmukti / vimoksha / vimukti / kaivalya / apavarga / mukti and nirvana. Life’s greatest pursuit is not happiness; LIFE itself is Live In Full Enjoyment.
According to Hinduism, Moksha (Physical – bhautika, Mental – manasika, and Spiritual – adhyatmika) is a result of past karma, own actions and God’s grace. The impediments on Moksha are actions (karma), desires (kama) egoism (aham), ignorance (avidya), impurities (malas), delusion (maya) and attachments (pasas). Many ways of circumventing these impediments are chosen by a variety of practices under Hinduism based on selected paths. These paths are called Yoga Paths. Yoga is the ultimate union in bliss, that is Moksha.
Raja Yoga or Ashtanga/Classical Yoga (BG Chap – 6 verses – 45 & Hathayoga Pradipika Chap 4 Verses – 1 & 7)with eight-limbs; 1. Yama- Morals 2. Niyama- Ethics 3. Asana- Posture 4. Pranayama- Control of the breath 5. Pratyahara- Control of the senses 6. Dharana- Concentration 7. Dhyana- Meditation 8. Samadhi- One-pointed absorption is another strong way to be in Moksha. Samadhi these days are mostly understood as Meditation and a silent inactive state, but in Vedic structure samadhi is Meditative Action.
Bhagavad Gita (BG) prescribes Karma Yoga or the Path of Action, Bhakti Yoga or the Path of Devotion, and Jnana Yoga or the Path of Knowledge. Karma practiced in a yogic style leads to Creative Brahma. Most popular brief – end of all the chapters of BG, as an essence it says – Upanishatsu Brahmavidyayam yogasastre Sri Krishnarjuna samvade ….. Thus, ‘Sri Mad Bhagavad Gita’, leads to MOKSHA Sanyasa Yoga.
