Jivanmukta

Jivanmukta

जीवन्-मुक्त, jīvan-mukta

The one who has reached the highest degree of God realization, existing in bliss and freedom, the one who during his lifetime has achieved complete liberation from the bonds of karma and the sequence of rebirths (samsara), unlike the videha-mukta, which is released only at the moment of death.

Such a saint does great benefit to other beings simply by being who he is.
