Moksha

Moksha (Sanskrit:मोक्ष) is the Sanskrit word for "release" or "emancipation." The term generally refers to the release from identification with the Bodily Ego and the material world.

Notes

When one achieves moksha, one no longer identifies with the Bodily Ego. Instead, one identifies with the Spiritual Ego.

According to Hindu thought, Moksha is one of the four aspects and Puruṣārtha (goals) of human life, the others being dharma (virtuous, proper, "right", moral life), artha (prosperous, secure, stable "right" life), and kama (happiness).

The 8thc. Hindu Poem Vivekachudamani treats of Moksha.
