Dear Shahji,

I will try to answer your query to the best of my knowledge as I have understood the questions raised by you:

1. Mukti means stopping this chakra of awah jaayi, i.e. end of being born again and again which happens to all of us until we achieve moksha or liberation from this cycle of chaurasi laakh yoni;
2. I must admit I do not know the meaning of 'jeevan mukti' myself; perhaps one of the sadhaks can answer this one.

3. To achieve moksha, one has to reach a stage whereby one has no desires left, whatever we can see and the world are only temporary and therefore this whole phenomenon of the sansara does not bother one any more; we are all actors here with a mukhota; in each new janam we get a new mukhota and we act out our part and then we die and are born again and again according to our unfulfilled desires until we are able to establish a contact with our soul and with the God himself and are completely in love with him and nothing else. Examples are: Kabir, Mira, Buddha, even though Buddha said he did not find God in any house that he was born into one birth after the other; he however has emphasized, inter alia, meditation and compassion for the one who is working for his liberation, true compassion at that for every one, irrespective!

4. So many paths like karm yoga, gyan yog, bhakti etc. have been advised to reach the goal to achieve moksha; but I think the easiest and the ultimate path is pure bhakti when one only loves God and no one else, not even one's own body, etc. An example is Ram Krishna Param Hans. Also listen to the lectures of JAGADGURU KRIPALUJI MAHARAJ OF Vrindavan.

5. Out of the millions of bhaktas or the ones following different paths, like karm yog, gyan yog, bhakti, etc. out of millions and billions only one soul achieves the goal, i.e. moksha that also in aeons. Rest of us keep going through the cycle and keep suffering.

6. And then the most important part is bhagwat kripa, after all the above efforts, whenever God will shower his blessing.
