Anotations

Scope note:

In Hinduism, liberation from samsara, the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. This liberation would mean a state of bliss (ananda), freedom from sorrow and higher awareness. It is the fourth and ultimate artha (goal) for Hindus, attained when ignorance, desire, and all attachments are overcome. There are various interpretations of moksha, especially in regard to how it is attained, whether by personal effort, by grace of a personal god, or a combination of the two. In Jainism, moksha lies beyond enlightenment and is freedom from the impediment of karma; enlightenment provides the means for rooting out all remaining karma.
