Broadly, there are two different approaches to the conception of liberation in Indian Philosophy:
(1) The Materialistic Conception of Mokşa of the Carvákas, and (2) The Non-materialistic Conception : (a) Positive Conception — Vedanta & Jainism. (i) Sārūpya -- Becoming like God in Nature
and Form = Gīta. ( ii ) Sámipya -- Blessed fellowship = Madhva,
Nimbärka, Vallabha, Caitanya etc. (iii) Salokya -- Residing in the world of God
( Vaikuntha ) = Ramanujists. (iv) Sayujya - Bocoming one with God = Ad
vaita Vedānta. (b) Negative Conception : Buddhism. (i) Uccheda - Nihilism = Madhyamika Bud
dhism. (ii) Nirodha - Cessation of sullering - Nyāya
Vaiseșikas & Mimārsakas, (c) Neutralistic Conception : Samkhya & Yoga. However, there is ample evidence to prove that some of the Buddhist texts, and some Naiyāyikas and Mimārisakas go so far as to prove a positivistic conception of liberation.
(3) The Jaina Outlook Jajoism is an important ideological phenomenon in the religio.philosophical history of mankind. It attempts a 'reapproachment between warring systems by a breadth of vision which goes in the name of Syadváda or Anekāntavāda.] It shares 1. Jaina, H, L. : "What Jainism stands for”, Jaina Antiqu
