Anand means bliss, vimoksha means the ultimate state of freedom -- bliss, freedom. But vimoksha does not mean any other kind of freedom -- neither political, nor economical, nor even psychological. It means freedom from the self. It does not even mean freedom of the self; it means freedom from the self. That is something of tremendous value of which to be aware.
