[QUOTE="Luckysingh, post: 175207, member: 16886"] Mukti or liberation is freedom from all attachments that are part of the world illusion. Hence, this is why so many have associated it with or after death. However these concepts are not in line with jeevan mukti, which is being liberated whilst alive. Many scriptures at the times of the gurus mentioned 4 different types or more of Mukti. Page 1105 [B]ਚਾਰਿ[/B] ਮੁਕਤਿ ਚਾਰੈ ਸਿਧਿ ਮਿਲਿ ਕੈ ਦੂਲਹ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੀ ਸਰਨਿ ਪਰਿਓ ॥: [B]chaar[/B] mukati chaarai sidh mil kai doolah prabh kee saran pario: By surrendering to the Lord, one obtains the [B]four[/B] kinds of liberations and the four Sidhis. According to the Mahankosh of Bhai Kahan Singh, the "four" liberations are: (1) [I][B]Saalokiya[/B][/I], (2) [B][I]Sameepiya[/I],[/B] (3) [B][I]Saroopiya[/I],[/B] and (4) [B][I]Saayujiya[/I].[/B] This four-part classification of liberation indicates states or stages of the mind — liberation of the mind from bonds of the senses. In other words, these are the stages of Formlessness, absorption (in the [I]Pritam's[/I] Love) or perfect spiritual efforts (the [I]Gurmukh[/I] lifestyle). Literal meanings of these four terms are briefly summarized below. (1) [B][I][U]Saalokiya[/U][/I]:[/B] living in the realm of the Supreme.OR where one gains a place in the realms of their guru or attainment of the salok given by the guru. (2) [I][B][U]Sameepiya[/U][/B][/I]: To be near the Supreme.-This leads not only to divine virtues but a God like form (isher/sargun) (3) [B][U]Saroopiya[/U][/B]: To look alike the Supreme -In which the devotee obtains heaven and same bodily qualities as sargun Lord (avtar, isher or their deity roop) (4) [I][B][U]Saayujiya[/U][/B][/I]: Merging, blending, linking or becoming one with the Supreme.- Here there is unity between the devotee and the One through immersion but devotee does NOT lose their own identity, so they are aware who they are and were and what they have attained even though they are merged. These above FOUR are NOT what the Gurmat applications apply to, but they are assumed to be the four in mentioned shabad. These ancient scriptures also mention a FIFTH but extinct state called [B]KAIVALYA Mukti.[/B] A gurmukh sikh's goal is not the above four sargun types but the 5th nirgun type called Kaivalya. [I][B]This is COMPLETE IMMERSION WITH WAHEGURU and THUS LOSING YOURSELF AND YOUR IDENTITY IN THE IMMERSION.[/B][/I] In my opinion, gurbani goes on further from these scriptures to overide all these muktis and defines [B]''JEEVAN MUKTI'[/B] -This is being liberated whilst alive and present in this life. As gurmukhs then, is this the only option that we should aim for ? OR can we opt for Kaivalya mukti attianed on or after death ? If so, how can we tell when we are living jeevan mukt ? Don't you want to know what mukti really is, even if you may believe that it's not in your reach in this lifetime ? There are also many of us manmukhs that simply believe that we may only be Gurmukh once we have attained 'jeevan mukti' - Is this a correct belief ? NOTE- ALL of the above is information that I have put together gathered from many different sources, so there may be every possibility that a certain description may be wrong or not agreed by others.
