Within Pushti Marg Vaishnavism, moksha is acknowledged yet not regarded as the supreme spiritual aspiration. Liberation from the cycle of birth and death is accepted as a reality, but it is treated more as a consequence of divine grace than as an end to be deliberately pursued. The tradition places the highest value on *seva*—loving, intimate service to Krishna in his Vraja form—rather than on the mere cessation of bondage. In this view, to be drawn into Krishna’s presence and service through *pushti* (grace) is more meaningful than simply attaining freedom from samsara.

This perspective also reflects a distinctive valuation of relationship over dissolution. While classical descriptions of moksha often emphasize merging into an impersonal Brahman or the extinction of individuality, Pushti Marg cherishes the soul’s enduring individuality as a loving servant or companion of Krishna. The ideal state is eternal participation in Krishna’s *lila*—his divine play—where the devotee remains personally related to him in love and service. Thus, what might be called “liberation” here is not a static state of release, but a dynamic, blissful engagement with Krishna’s presence.

Because of this, liberation is seen as a kind of by-product of grace rather than the focal point of spiritual life. The world, as understood in this tradition, is not something to be rejected as illusory, but a real manifestation of Brahman in which loving devotion can be enacted. Through *seva*, *kirtan*, offerings, and *darshan*, the devotee already begins to participate in Krishna’s *lila* in this very life, anticipating the fuller participation that awaits in the divine realm. From this standpoint, the highest good is not simply to be free, but to belong—to Krishna, in unending, grace-filled devotion.
