What is Moksha?
‘What is Moksha?’
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Moksha means liberation, or Freedom –
Freedom from fear – sorrow, and misery.
According to the Shastras – the ancient Hindu Scriptures, Moksha is not located in some other Loka or planet.
It’s a state of mind.
Mokshasya na hi vaaso-asti na graamantarmeva va
Agyaan-hriday-granthi naasho Moksha iti smritah
” Shiv Geeta “
Meaning:
‘Moksha is not located in some other Loka; another planet – another plane of existence – nor it belongs to a particular place -a city, or a village, or a house.
The elimination of the veil of Agyaana – ignorance and false knowledge that clouds the mind – is known as Moksha.’
In other words, it is a delusion, misconception that we will achieve Moksha after the death –
that we will be living on a different plane of existence.
By lighting the lamp of Gyana in our heart and thus attaining the state of enlightenment is called Moksha.
