WHAT IS THE TRUE MEANING OF MUKTI TO SIKHS?
to eradicate all your vices and negative thoughts while living in this body .
Mukti in Gurmat is from ardent worldly temptations and ego which can be obtained while living this life called Jivan Mukti. Gurmat condemns Mukti after death but seeks Virtues of the God.
ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੀ ਆਗਿਆ ਆਤਮ ਹਿਤਾਵੈ ॥ ਜੀਵਨ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਸੋਊ ਕਹਾਵੈ ॥ ਤੈਸਾ ਹਰਖੁ ਤੈਸਾ ਉਸੁ ਸੋਗੁ ॥ ਸਦਾ ਅਨੰਦੁ ਤਹ ਨਹੀ ਬਿਓਗੁ ॥AGGS 275
Prabh Ki Agya Atam Hitave || Jivan Mukat Sou Kehave || Taisa Harakh Taisa Os Sog || Sda Anand Teh Nehi Biyog ||
ਤੈਸਾ ਸੁਵਰਨੁ ਤੈਸੀ ਉਸੁ ਮਾਟੀ ॥ ਤੈਸਾ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਤੈਸੀ ਬਿਖੁ ਖਾਟੀ ॥ ਤੈਸਾ ਮਾਨੁ ਤੈਸਾ ਅਭਿਮਾਨੁ ॥ ਤੈਸਾ ਰੰਕੁ ਤੈਸਾ ਰਾਜਾਨੁ ॥
Taisa Suvaran Taisi Os Mati || Taisa Amrit Taisi Bikh Khati || Taisa Maan Taisa Abhiman || Taisa Rank Taisa Rajan ||
ਜੋ ਵਰਤਾਏ ਸਾਈ ਜੁਗਤਿ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਓਹੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਕਹੀਐ ਜੀਵਨ ਮੁਕਤਿ ॥੭॥
Jo Vartae Sayi Jugat || Nanak Oh Purakh Kahiye Jivan Mukat
One who in mind (Mann), loves the Will of God, is said to be liberated while yet alive (Jivan Mukt). As is joy, so is sorrow to him. He is in eternal bliss, and is not separated from God. As is gold, so is dust to him. Such a person is neither greedy nor miserable if poor. Good words in the form of praises (Amrit Words) and slander (Poisonous Words) are same to such a person. As is honour, so is arrogance from someone for such a person. Beggar (Poor) and king (Rich) are also equal to him. Whatever God ordains is his way. O Nanak, that person is known as Jivan Mukt.
