In the Mokṣopya (also known as the Yogavsiṣṭha ), an eleventh-century Sanskrit poetic text, the great Vedic philosopher Vasiṣṭha counsels his young prot???g??? Lord Rma about the ways of the world through sixty-four stories designed to bring Rma from ignorance to wisdom. Much beloved, this work reflects the philosophy of Kashmir Zaivism. Precisely because all worldly pursuits are dreamlike and fiction-like, the human soul must first come to an experience of non-dualistic, mind-only metaphysics, and after attaining this wisdom, promote moral activism. Engaged Emancipation is a wide-ranging consideration of this work and the philosophical and spiritual questions it addresses by philosophers, Sanskritists, and scholars of religion, literature, and science. Contributors allow readers to walk with Rma as his melancholy and angst transform into connectivity, peace, and spiritual equipoise.
