Liberation (Mokṣa)

Mokṣa is liberation — the final freedom from the wheel of birth, death, and rebirth that the Hindu schools take to be the supreme aim of human life. What liberation is freedom into, however, differs widely: union or identity with the absolute, eternal loving communion with God, or the isolation of the pure witness-self. Every school of Hindu philosophy is, at bottom, a path and a theory aimed at mokṣa.
