Meaning
of Moksha
Moksa liberation Mukti
Bhagavad Gita moksha - moksha hinduism
Moksha in Hinduism
and Jainism generally mean the same! In Christianity moksha is termed
salvation... in Buddhism nirvana! The deeper meaning of moksha
in Hinduism simply means liberation of the Atman soul from the cycle
of birth and death forever! The moment human beings reached
the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)... one finally gained
moksha (salvation) in that lifetime!
Cessation of
all karma in entirety results from reaching the stage of enlightenment...
never before! Traveling the path of jnana yoga... assimilating the
pearls of wisdom contained in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism...
human beings finally emancipated forever from the cycle of birth
and death... reached the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)
and finally moksha (salvation)
Meaning of moksha
as per Hindu traditions means gaining Mukti... liberation from the
bondage of karma... from the vicious cycle of birth and death forever!
This becomes possible when human beings after establishing absolute
control over five senses and mind reached the stage of Nirvikalpa
Samadhi... the stage of nothingness... the stage of absolute wisdom!
Controlling
five senses and the mind alone does not make one reach the stage
of enlightenment. One needs practicing absolute celibacy for a minimum
period of 12 years in continuation! The practice of celibacy results
in full awakening of the kundalini Shakti... the dormant cosmic
energy lying in the base of spine!
The moment one
awakens kundalini fully... the Sahasrara Chakra (thousand petaled
Lotus) existing in brain behind the forehead opens fully. The opening
of Sahasrara Chakra fully announces one reaching stage of enlightenment...
the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi... stage of nothingness... stage
of absolute wisdom... the stage of kaivalya jnana!
The meaning
of kaivalya jnana in Hinduism... in Hindi means the stage when only
jnana remains... the stage of absolute wisdom! Devoid of all
dross within when an Atman soul reaches the stage of nothingness...
one is said to have reached the stage of kaivalya jnana... absolute
wisdom! Bhagavad Gita is absolutely clear on this explanation of
kaivalya jnana!
Cessation of karma in the physical manifest life is not that easy!
Surrounded by materialistic riches galore... prompted by a bloated
ego... the wanton desires and greed for materialistic riches...
most human beings in life desire traveling the spiritual path standing
on platform of material riches. This simply cannot be... the spiritual
path can never be traveled following religion!
For serious
seekers of spirituality bondage of life on Mother Earth carries
no meaning! For one who reaches higher brackets of spirituality
even relationship with mother and father ceases to exist! For true
seekers of spirituality father denotes Brahman (termed God Almighty)
and mother... planet Mother Earth that supports germination of life
without which life in cosmic system was just not possible!
It is only when
an Atman soul manifests a body... life evolves in cosmic system!
In absence of life supporting planets like Mother Earth... all atmans
souls would simply remain inert! Every Atman soul manifests life
to cleanse self of dross impurities within. This becomes possible
through the complex process of karma that acts as accountant general
of cosmic system!
After the death of body on mother Earth... whatever the residual
balance of life... the same becomes opening balance of life for
next manifestation... the new journey of life manifested by an Atman
soul! The entire life span of 8.4 million manifestations... an earthly
journey of 96.4 million years is one single span of life for an
Atman soul!
Travel in human
form is the most pleasant experience for an Atman soul. It is only
in human form an Atman soul finally reaches the cosmic end of life...
the 8.4 millionth manifestation... the moment human beings gained
enlightenment (kaivalya jnana). Nothing to achieve further... the
enlightened one finally embraces moksha (salvation)!
Reaching
moksha in simpler terms means the liberated Atman soul... an Atman
soul that has finally liberated from the cycle of birth and death
gains entry into the abode of God... the kingdom of God (termed
Vaikuntha in Hinduism). Ever since the individual piece of puzzle
separated from its source... the effort of every Atman soul remains
rejoining the complete puzzle at the earliest!
The moment all souls atmans in the cosmos reached 8.4 millionth
manifestation... it announces Pralaya (dissolution of the cosmos).
Devoid of all dross impurities within (after complete dissolution
of cosmos) the size of entire cosmos reduces to size of half a thumb.
As per Bhagavad Gita this half a thumb is what we term Brahman (God
Almighty).
The primordial
power of all purified souls atmans in the cosmos at a given point
of time is what we term God Almighty... Brahman in Hinduism! This
magnanimous colossal primordial power... the size of half a thumb
unable to retain itself in its prime pure state for long again explodes
with a big bang... giving rise to a new cosmos... an entirely new
journey of life!
As per sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism the existence of an Atman soul is the
only truth of life! Apart from the existence of all atmans souls...
nothing else exists in the whole of cosmos! As per Advaita Vedanta
theory of Hinduism, Brahman (termed God Almighty) is the only truth
of life in the cosmic system. Beyond the existence of Brahman nothing
else exists in the whole cosmos!
Whatever we see from the senses point of view... everything that
appears solid is in fact gaseous formation. Even the human form
is but a cluster of atoms and molecules... made up of the basic
building block of cosmos... clusters of atoms and molecules! For
understanding the intricacies of cosmic system... one need assimilating
the wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita.
The sacred Bhagavad
Gita of Hinduism contains everything that is worth knowing in the
cosmic system... right from A to Z. The knower of Bhagavad Gita
finally becomes the knower of all... gains enlightenment at the
end of the journey. For gaining enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)
the wisdom contained in 700 shlokas verses of Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism
suffice.
The Independent
Upanishads (treatises) are of great help on the spiritual path but
for gaining enlightenment... the pearls of wisdom contained in Bhagavad
Gita suffices! The wisdom contained in various Vedas of Hinduism
is not a requisite on the spiritual path. Primarily the wisdom of
Vedas was meant for yester years when rituals played a vital role
for living a meaningful life!
With the advancements in science... one need not indulge in any
ritual of religion in present times for reaching God Almighty...
for gaining enlightenment... reaching the stage of kaivalya jnana!
Moksha can never be gained by following the path of religion alone.
Moksha can also never be gained through the path of karma yoga or
bhakti yoga alone.
For reaching
the stage of moksha in ones lifetime... one needs following the
path of jnana yoga (absolute wisdom) with all sincerity... practicing
patience, persistence and perseverance at its best! Practice
of absolute celibacy demands highest level of perfection as a human
being. Full kundalini awakening is not that easy to achieve as most
human beings think.
For understanding
the meaning of moksha in Hinduism or Jainism... one need not convert
to Hinduism or Jainism religion. Even while following ones religion
any human being on Mother Earth can follow the dictates of Bhagavad
Gita or Jaina Scriptures. Moksha is reaching the abode of Brahman...
the abode of God Almighty... the ultimate goal of cosmic life!
Moksha yoga... or any type of yoga meditation one indulges in must
propel one towards the ultimate goal of life... the stage of self
realization... the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana). The
goal of every type of yoga meditation always remains reaching God
Almighty... Brahman at the earliest!
Brahman is also
termed Parmatman, Karta, Sanatana Purusha, Bhagwan, and Ishwar in
Hinduism. Brahman of Hinduism is one and only one. Lord Shiva...
Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma are merely attributes of Brahman...
the one and only Hindu God... the creator of all things cosmic!
Brahman must never be confused with Brahmin (a Varna in Hinduism)...
a Hindu caste that indulges in religious aspects of life... more
particularly rituals!
Moksha in
Hinduism stands for liberation from samsara (worldly life)!
The moment all dross within the Atman soul removed... the need for
an Atman soul to manifest a body ceases to exist! The liberated
Atman soul is now free to gain moksha (salvation) at the end of
cosmic journey!
