Homonym: Kaivalya (Liberation)
Kaivalya is a term from Indian philosophy, particularly in the context of Yoga and Vedanta. It refers to a state of absolute liberation or freedom from the cycle of birth and death, known as samsara. In this state, the individual soul, or Atman, realizes its true nature and unity with the ultimate reality, Brahman.
Achieving Kaivalya involves deep spiritual practice, self-realization, and the dissolution of the ego. It is often seen as the ultimate goal of yogic practices, where one transcends worldly attachments and experiences profound peace and enlightenment. This concept emphasizes the importance of inner transformation and the pursuit of higher consciousness.
