Mukti, or liberation, is a key concept in various Indian philosophies and religions, particularly in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It refers to the release from the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, known as samsara. Achieving Mukti signifies the end of suffering and the attainment of spiritual freedom, allowing the soul to unite with the divine or reach a state of ultimate peace. In Hinduism, Mukti can be attained through various paths, including knowledge (jnana), devotion (bhakti), and righteous actions (karma). In Buddhism, it is often associated with achieving nirvana, a state of enlightenment free from desire and suffering. Each tradition offers unique practices and philosophies to guide individuals toward this ultimate goal.
