Mukti
Mukti means freedom, liberation. it is also called moksha. For example some convict was serving his sentence in jail after the duration of the sentence he is released from the prison. So now he is free, or has attained mukti.
In the divine realm also the same term is used. The souls who are under the bondage is of Maya can get freedom from that bondage. This is called mukti. Many scriptures have glorified mukti and there are several bhajans also glorifying mukti. So let us understand mukti. There are 5 types of mukti and can be divided into 2 major groups
1. Those that are the goal of gyanis
kavalya mukti: There are several synonyms of the same sayujya mukti, ekatva mukti. The aspirants of Gyan marg aspire for this mukti. In this the soul is freed from all bondage of Maya, like trikarm, tritaap, tridosh, tri sharir, panchkosh, panchklesh, tririn. Not only that the soul gets rid of body and mind as well. Now the pure soul remains engrossed in Brahm-Supreme God. Since the mind is hte one that experiences happiness and sadness, and the soul does not have a mind associated to it, the soul sleeps in eternal sleep and does not experience any happiness or sadness.
2. The following 4 mukti are related to bhakti. The sadhaks who worship MahaVishnu with shant bhav
sarshti mukti: living in the opulence of Maha Vishnu
saamipya: living close to Maha Vishnu so the bhakt can continually enjoy the bliss of His darshan
saalokya: living in the abode of MahaVishnu
saaroopya: having the same form as MahaVishnu like Jaya Vijay
Mukti is abhored by aspirants of divine love since there is no relationship with the Lord. Due to no relationship the joy of intimacy is non-existent. Original nature of Jeev is to serve God
Jeeve swaroop hoya krishner nitya das
When that nature is not going to be fulfilled due to mukti then what is the point of getting it. Lord Shankar said swarg, narak and moksh are like. Since in all of them service to God is not rendered. Mahaprabhu Ji said
