Kaivalya

Kaivalya

"perfect isolation", "separation", "absolute unity";
special, final, the fifth (after the turya) state of consciousness, attainable in yoga.

Kaivalya is considered the ultimate goal of yoga, when the soul is freed from all attachments. Separated from the manifested and changing universe, it is pure, peaceful and enjoying eternal bliss. Independence, a godlike state in which the pure consciousness of the real Self is not subject to the sufferings and temptations of the external world and its own mind. The purity of the mind becomes equal to the level of pure consciousness, or the true Self (Purusha).
