Mokshha (moksha) in Jainism means liberation from the cycle of birth and death (samsara). It is the soul’s ultimate release from all karmic bondage, resulting in infinite knowledge, perception, and bliss (kevala-jnan, ananta darshan, ananda).

Key points:

• What it is: When all karmas are burnt off, the soul remains pure and free, with no more rebirths.
• What it feels like: Absolute, permanent freedom and ananda, beyond worldly joys or sorrows.
• How it is achieved: By purifying the soul of karmic influxes through right belief, right knowledge, and right conduct (samyak darshan, samyak jnana, samyak charitra) and by adhering to ethical discipline and self-control. For monks and nuns, this includes intense renunciation and austerities; for lay followers, it means living by the five vows (non-violence, truth, non-stealing, celibacy/monastic conduct in marriage, and non-attachment).
• The path in practice: Remove passions and attachment, practice self-discipline, self-study, and ethical living; gradually shed karma via disciplined conduct, meditation, and austerities as prescribed in Jain teachings.
• Digambar vs. Shwetambar nuance: Both traditions affirm moksha as final liberation. They may differ in certain practices, interpretations, and monastic rules, but the essential goal—freedom from karmic bondage and the soul’s eternal bliss—remains the same.

In short: Mokshha is the soul’s permanent release from samsara, achieved by purifying and freeing the self from all karma, leading to infinite knowledge, perception, and bliss.
