The Importance of Surrender in the Quest for Moksha

Moksha is one of the most important concepts in Hinduism and Buddhism. Moksha refers to liberation from samsara, an endless cycle of births and deaths. In Hinduism, it can be attained through spiritual enlightenment (mukti), which frees a person from the cycle of rebirths known as samsara. In Jainism, moksha means freedom from passion, hatred and delusion as well as liberation from karmic bondage – this is achieved by following the path of ahimsa or non-violence for all beings. Nirvana means 'extinction' or 'annihilation' as it refers to total annihilation of all desires like attachment towards anything materialistic in ones mind

Nirvana is a state of complete peace and freedom from suffering in which one can live happily without any attachments or desires. It has been described as the highest goal attainable by an individual through his own efforts (i.e., not dependent on outside help), which brings him closer to attaining liberation or enlightenment when compared with other states such as Samsara (the cycle of birth-death) or Bodhi Chitta (attaining complete understanding).

Conclusion

While there are many definitions for it, all three philosophies define it as a state of liberation from rebirth and bondage. The idea is that the soul is trapped in the cycle of birth and death because it is attached to worldly things such as wealth or power. By realizing this truth and gaining control over desire through meditation techniques like yoga or pranayama breathing exercises, one can achieve salvation from this cycle of suffering
