The position that "Mokṣa is not negation of individuality but the restoration of harmony with the Absolute" is maintained by :

  • A.Cārvāka
  • B.Sāṁkhya
  • C.Śaṁkara
  • D.Rāmānuja

Answer: D

The position is Rāmānuja's.

For Rāmānuja, the released soul does not merge into Brahman. It keeps its individuality and, freed from karma, enjoys communion with God, sharing his bliss as a mode of his body. Liberation restores the soul's true relation to the Absolute rather than abolishing the self.

Śaṁkara holds that liberation is the realisation of identity with Brahman, in which individuality is dissolved. Sāṁkhya's liberation is isolation of puruṣa, not harmony with an Absolute, and the Cārvākas deny moksa altogether.
