What Is The Advaita Vadenta Concept Of Liberation?

In the advaita Vadenta analysis, human life and behavior is explained on the basis and foundation of the theory of karma, which sets the cycle or the sequence of the rebirths into motion. All the actions, whether good or bad, create their own karmic residue or remainders which are called the vAsanas. These Vasanas ten exhibit their own results over a period of time. The karma that has already started taking fruit or producing results is called prArabdha karma.

This is the karma that is responsible for the individual's current birth. The accumulated karma that is yet to take fruit, or the results of which are to be produced in the future is called sancita karma. As long as the cycle or series of rebirths continue for an individual, more karma will be accumulated in the future, and this process is called Agamin karma. Liberation which in Advaita Vadenta is called moksha is the way out for any individual from of this endless cycle of rebirths.

In the advaita vadenta, moksha is also synonymous with the Supreme Being or brahman. As Sruti says that one who knows Brahman is the one who becomes Brahman Itself. Once an individual realizes his true inner self, that is thek Brahman in himself or herself, he or she is liberated or achieves Moksha.
