Mukta means ultimate freedom, freedom from the self. There are two possibilities of freedom. The lower kind of freedom is freedom for the self: the self remains but becomes free. The higher freedom is freedom from the self itself: the self disappears, there is only freedom; there is nobody who is free, but there is freedom itself. That is so in everything when it reaches to the ultimate peak. The lover disappears, only love remains; or it will be better to say: only loving remains. The dancer disappears, only dance remains; or it will be better to say: only dancing remains. So everything has that transformation when it reaches to its ultimate peak--the self disappears. That is the meaning of the Buddhist word ’nirvana’; it means cessation of the self. One is and one is not; the presence is but it is a kind of absence. Those old polarities of positive and negative make no sense any more; they have dissolved into each other. Yin and yang are no more separate, man and woman are no more separate. This is unison. This is what ordinarily we call god. God is an orgasmic experience in which the experiencer has disappeared. That’s the meaning of mukta. ~~OSHO youtube/watch?v=jSL_tNCqxW4
