मोक्ष
Moksha (मोक्ष), from the Sanskrit root muc (मुक्), means to free or to release. In later spiritual use it names liberation from rebirth (samsara) and reunion with the Absolute. An older, concrete use simply meant relief from a worldly burden.
Within the International Nath Order Moksha is a neighboring word, not the house term. The first aim of the Order is Awakening: experiential union of macrocosm and microcosm. The Naths often spoke of samarasa where other schools said moksha. Avadhut names the one who has cast off the fetters. None of these is a grade conferred by initiation. The work is sadhana. Peace, freedom, and happiness remain the measure.
