Moksha
Liberation from the cycle
đUnderstanding Moksha
Moksha is the ultimate goal of human life in Sanatan Dharmaâcomplete liberation from the cycle of birth and death. It is the final freedom, where the individual soul recognizes its true nature and is released from all bondage. Moksha is not a place we go to after death; it is a state of awakening that can happen here and now, in this very life.
