Moksha is the freedom from the vicious cycle of life, death, and rebirth. In Hinduism, people are divided into different varnas, or groups in the Caste System. When people are reincarnated, they either go up a level, or down a level, depending on their karma. When one is reincarnated over and over, they will finally reach moksha, or the state of perfect peace.

Moksha, more commonly referred to as Nirvana in Buddhism, is a liberation from Samsara (a cycle of rebirth and suffering). Nirvana is the end goal of the Buddhist path, as it is referred to as "the highest happiness." In this way, Moksha could be called a transcendence into another, utopian world. To reach Moksha/Nirvana, a person must free themselves from all desires, anger, and other afflicting states.
