What is Moksha/liberation?
Hello dear forum fellows,
What is your perception of the term Moksha / liberation?
My perception of Moksha till now is - when one realizes one's true nature i.e. when one awakens to advaita (non duality) then one attains moksha.
ॐ

When one realizes or awakens to one's true nature. Yeah.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

My perception is,
When One's seeking/desire for 'anything' (or attachment and aversion to 'anything'/'anyperson'/'anyplace'/'anysituation') comes to an end, and so ending of sorrow, that is Moksha.

Libration from chains ie cravings / desires (narrow selfish limited material ).
And why liberation - because it is self sustaining , ever lasting , independent .
While moksha/liberation is great and people who have attained it are venerable , there is long route for us through desires and cravings to be sublimated . So for mundane people like me it's very difficult sort of last stage whereas many stages before that are yet to be cleared .
Also moksha is more a duality concept , truly non-dual people may already have that moksha/liberation due to intense association to non-dual . |

Or shall we say that Moksha is more like elimination of all duality?

Practically till life is there and we breathe air, duality is going to remain there and that too for a good reason. Duality is not that bad. Duality lets you enjoy the great beautiful things in life in different perspective. Duality that clouds our decision making with total narrow selfish material goals, which separates us from others in higher/lower/superior/inferior, which makes faulty / unjust/unfair /biased decisions and judgements - is not good. And person with a good non-duality orientation, objective mindset and equanimity can rise above such harmful duality. So in reality non-dual people do know/understand /appreciate/duality but have very high orientation towards non-duality.
Like when we click a single command in a computer program, we users feel we are doing just one thing (which is right at our level) but behind the scenes computer programs execute 1000s of instructions for such a click, real non-dual people's non-duality orientation is so fast, Realtime, intense, granular, uninterrupted etc- it gives us a feeling they never experience duality. But that may not be the case really.
So duality in life never ends. Just that you try to learn to rise above to the best of your capabilities and make the experience blissful for all including us .
