| 520 | |a This paper deals with the unique interpretation that Satya Sai Baba offers to the notion of Mokṣa in Hinduism. The paper attempts to relate his interpretation with that of the Advaita Vedanta. Sri Satya Sai Baba has explained the derivation of mokṣa as an acronym formed by combining the first two letters of the words 'moha' (delusion) and 'kṣaya' (destruction/removal). Mokṣa, the ultimate of puruṣārthas is the attainment of the ever-existing, ever-stable, ever-pure ātma-tattva and getting rid of the ever-changing, ever-unreal, impure deha-tattva. So long as there is attachment, the world appears permanent. This should be removed, and this process of mohakṣaya (attrition of attachment) is mokṣa. Once this attachment goes, what remains is simply ānanda (bliss). To convert our lives, to some extent, in this manner is the path of Brahman. The essay is divided into five sections: 1. Definition and nature of Mokṣa, 2. Kinds of Mokṣa 3. Obstacles, 4. Means for Mokṣa, and 5.Their complementary nature. In an effort to provide a close reading of Sai Baba's interpretation of the topic, the study is entirely relied upon his writings and comments. However, classical Hindu textual references are provided for his various comments where appropriate. | ||
