The concept of mokṣa occupies the paramount position in the Sāṁkhya philosophy. It states mokṣa is attained by means of knowledge of the distinction of Puruṣa and Prakṛti. This discriminative knowledge is known as viveka jñāna. In almost all the philosophies, there is the constant repetition of the fact that material life is not of primary importance and death does not mean the final release of the soul. Sāṁkhya philosophy accepts two kinds of mukti, both jīvana mukti and videha mukti. Jīvana mukti is the state of liberation which is attained while the individual is still living in this world. This is possible only when the right knowledge of discrimination is attained. On the other hand, videha mukti is attained after death of the individual.

mokṣa, prakṛti, puruṣa, jīvanmukti, videha mukti etc.
