Samsara

Samsara is the round: birth and death, and the worldly span between them. It names both transmigration and household life as opposed to renunciation.

Within the International Nath Order the aim is to end that round, not to decorate it. Moksha and Samarasa are neighboring words for release. Awakening is the house term. A Nath of this Order remains a householder; that is not a surrender to samsara. It is the ground on which the work is done. Karma is the fruit that keeps the wheel turning. This page names the wheel.
