Mukti - GCSE Religious Studies Definition

Reviewed by: Bridgette Barrett

Published

Mukti is a term used in Sikhism to describe the ultimate goal of being reunited with God. Mukti is the goal of human life, as it frees the soul from suffering. People seek mukti through good actions, devotion, knowledge, and following religious teachings and practices. In Sikhism, for example, focusing on God's name and living a truthful life are important steps towards achieving mukti. It’s similar to the concept of nirvana in Buddhism, representing a state of peace and happiness beyond worldly concerns.
