Expert Solution
Step 1: Achieving Moksha Liberation from Samsara

The final objective for the Hindu is liberation from samara or the endless cycle of birth and death. Freedom from pain means that it is free from all sufferings; ignorant means lacking knowledge of good or bad things in life or having no moral values; detachment means being separated or free from all material attachments or bondages. However, they argue that all beings can attain ‘Moksha’, which demands rigorous spiritual exertions.
