Bhagavad Gita · Mahabharata Codex

Moksha

मोक्ष · mokṣa

liberation; final freedom

Release from the cycle of birth and death and from the sorrow that goes with it. The Gita also calls it brahma-nirvana, 'extinction in Brahman', and the highest goal from which there is no return. It is described as something that can be reached while living, by one whose desires have come to rest. Krishna's final promise is to free Arjuna from all evil.
