For the Love of Yoga with Nish the Fish How To Be Free | Kashmir Shaivism
What is the ultimate goal of spiritual life? I’m going to propose that it’s freedom, however we choose to articulate it.
But what is that exactly?
And does freedom mean the categorical end of all suffering and the attainment of the supreme bliss?
What’s so blissful about freedom?
Today we’re going to articulate the Kashmir Shaivism position on freedom and contrast it against the freedom of other systems like Samkhya and Advaita Vedanta to show that ultimate freedom requires ultimate agency and absolute infinitude, i.e non duality.
Remember, not all freedoms are the same. Different schools of spiritual philosophy offer different versions of freedom. As such, I hope to have a nuanced conversation regarding the goal of the various paths. Let's compare the concept of freedom of Cārvāka with that of Sāmkhya, Advaita Vedānta and finally, Kashmir Shaivism.
