Mukti (Sikh)

Liberation in Sikh teaching: freedom from ego and rebirth through union with the Name, attainable in life.

Also: Mukti, jivan mukt

Jainism, Sikhism and other paths

Mukti in Sikhism is release from the cycle of birth and death, but above all from haumai. The Gurus speak of jīvan mukt, the one liberated while living, who works in the world unattached, like the lotus unwetted by the water in which it grows. Liberation is a gift, and love of God is valued above it.
