Clearing the Air Around Mukti

Mukti arises from detachment, renunciation, and guiding one's life toward liberation while balancing pleasure and pain

Why does the need for Moksha or mukti arise, to begin with? Why does it resonate across the board, straddling many diverse belief systems? Why not posit a different, alternative spiritual goal post instead? Time and again, over generations, a handful of individuals with a keener pain sensitivity than the rest have been quick to grasp that nothing but mukti provides an enduring answer to life's manifold and interminable sufferings. It is pain and suffering, therefore, that necessitate and legitimise mukti. And nothing but a stronger desire to terminate suffering has traditionally separated those of lofty spiritual stature from the benumbed laity.
