I've missed quite a bit on this thread (items too long, too woolly, or I've been too quick with clicking delete!) Could someone please explain in a brief paragraph or two, the difference between liberation = moksha, and liberation = mukti. My understanding is that the liberation of Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II, or India's liberation from the British in 1947 could be considered a form of "mukti", but not "moksha".

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 Someone please ask Amma this Fall or ask Dayamrita at the next satsang so those on this list that need to hear it in their words will get it. Moksha = Liberation, Freedom FROM CYCLE OF BIRTH AND DEATH example = being liberated at death would be pretty much like going to sleep and never regaining consciousness again (dissolving into the absolute no longer burdened with individual existence). You could also attain Moksha while living, making you a Jivanmukta. Mukti = Liberation, Freedom TO DO ANYTHING YOU WANT, to a certain degree. Refers to a state like Enlightenment, Self-Realization, but implies that the state was reached during human lifetime. Implies Moksha. Danger in seeking Mukti is achieving a false sense of Realization, Enlightenment, etc. thereby stopping sadhana. tom Ammachi, Mike Brooker <patria1818> wrote: > In Sanathana Dharma > > (Hindus), the goal > > is Moksha.
