Moksha

Moksha (liberation) is a central concept in the philosophical and spiritual traditions of India, designating the definitive release of the soul from the cycle of birth and death (samsara). In the various Hindu schools, moksha is interpreted differently: for Advaitists, it means the merging of the individual soul into the impersonal Brahman; for Dvaitists, it means the eternal coexistence of the soul with God while maintaining its individuality; and for Vaishnavas, it means the re-establishment of the soul's eternal loving relationship with Bhagavan. In Gaudiya Vaishnava theology, moksha is not the supreme goal of existence. The Srimad-Bhagavatam declares that impersonal liberation (sayujya-mukti) is considered inferior and is rejected by pure devotees, who aspire to prema, a state that transcends mere liberation. Gaudiya acharyas distinguish five types of moksha: sarsti (opulence equal to God's), sarupya (form similar to God's), salokya (living on the same planet as God), samipya (constant proximity to God), and sayujya (merging into the Absolute). Only the last is rejected, as it negates the soul's individuality and the possibility of a personal, loving relationship with the Divine.
