\n<\/span>MOKSH\/MOKSA is said to mean “Liberation” or “enlightenment.” The ultimate “moksa” is the liberation of the soul from the cycle of births and deaths (reincarnation).<\/span>
\nBut\u00a0<\/span>Karma and Reincarnation\u00a0<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/i><\/span>are not Divine doctrines. They are not clearly expressed in the Veda: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe origin and the development of the belief in the transmigration of souls are\u00a0<\/i>very obscure<\/span>\u2026This doctrine of samsara <\/i>(reincarnation) is attributed to the sage Uddalaka Aruni, who is said to have learned it from a Ksatriya chief. In the same text, the doctrine of karma<\/i> (works)\u2026also occurs for the first time, attributed to Yajnavalkya. Both doctrines appear to have been new and strange ones<\/span>,<\/span> circulating among small groups of ascetics who were disinclined to make them public<\/span>\u201d-(Ency. Brit; 15th Ed; Vol. 8, p. 911. Underlines added).
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Anoop Chandola states in his book The Way To True Worship<\/em>:
\n\u201cThrough contact, the Aryans and non -Aryans began to modify and integrate each other\u2019s pathways. In the context of religion, for example, the Austro-Asiatics may have contributed the belief in each life passing to another life. This belief later, in the form of reincarnation, became a major element in the Upanishads<\/i>.<\/strong>“-(p.8. Emphasis added).
\nIf reincarnation was Divine bequeath\u00a0it could not be speculated to have been \u201ccontributed\u201d by the \u201cAustro-Asiatics.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLiberation\u201d (moksa)<\/i> of the soul is \u201cattainable only by a male<\/strong> of twice-born genus who has followed the sacrificial code through the three life stages of student, householder, and forest dweller\u201d\u2013(Ency; Brit<\/i>; 15th<\/sup> Ed; Vol. 3, p. 988. Emphasis added).
\nAs noted, Moksa is the liberation of the soul from the cycle of deaths and rebirths (Reincarnation<\/span>)\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0and is attainable only by MALES.<\/span>
\nBut as shown,\u00a0Reincarnation<\/a><\/span>\u00a0(and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Karma<\/a><\/span>)<\/span> is NOT a Divine doctrine. Thus, as there is no deaths and rebirths from which to be liberated THERE IS NO MOKSA.
\n<\/span>Wikipedia notes: \u201cThe Vedas suggest three goals of man: kama<\/a>,\u00a0 artha<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and dharma<\/a>.<\/span> <\/span>To these, the Upanishadic era added\u00a0moksha<\/em>. The acceptance of the concept of\u00a0moksha<\/em>\u00a0in some schools of\u00a0Hindu philosophy<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>was slow. These refused to recognize\u00a0moksha\u00a0for centuries, considering it irrelevant.<\/em>\u201d (Emphasis added).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To restate: Moksa\/Moksha, is the liberation of the soul from the cycle of rebirths and deaths \u2013reincarnation.<\/span> But as there is no Divine doctrine of reincarnation and karma, then Moksa, which is based on reincarnation and karma, is not only \u201cirrelevant\u201d, Moksa does not exist.
