Achievement of Salvation |
 |
Achievement of Salvation (Moksa) is the end and aim of all ideals, hopes and glorious performances of human life, which a Svastha person should hold sacred.
Moksa is a condition
in human being where the latter is free from all causes of joy and
lamentation. An individual is freee from physical and mental
pain. A general and special knowledge is achieved at the the end
of this stage.
Such a person also realizes that everything is Unreal and not worth
Pursuing. No cause is thus left for any physical or mental pain because there is no Bhutatma
i.e. Individual Consciousness.

Some characteristic experiences of such power mentioned by Caraka
are listed below
|
|
- Entering another's body, either living or dead and working with it as one likes;
- Reading another's mind;
- Enjoyment of superhuman objects at will;
- Seeing things at any distance;
- Hearing sounds from any distant place;
- A memory of events that occurred, are occurring, or are about to occur in the cosmic plan of
existence;
- Development of a perceptible amount of lustrous
splendour in one's physical self; and
- Disappearance from or appearance before the presence of others
at one's will.
This condition was, therefore, considered naturally worth achieving by
anybody, especially because, it not only relieves an individual from worldly troubles
in this very life, but it also relieves him of the necessity to birth, life and death as a matter of routine.
The turning round and round in the cycle of births and deaths have been inflicted on countless individuals by the all regulating Almighty Soul as a matter of routine and disciplined regularity in the Universe.

- Develop a taste for solitary life;
- Be continually occupied in the attainment of Salvation by continuous occupation
in life;

worldly affairs;
- Disentangle yourself from the worldly bindings;
