Talk:Mumuksutva
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
By Swami Harshananda
mumuksutva (‘desire for mokṣa or liberation’)
According to the ṣaḍdarśanas or the six systems of Indian philosophy the real bondage for a soul is its being encased in a body, whether human or non-human. Hence mokṣa or mukti is permanent liberation from rebirth, and, regaining the original state. The desire for such mokṣa is ‘mumukṣutva’ or ‘mumukṣā’ and one who possesses such a desire is a ‘mumukṣu’.
