The Brahmins, the Vedantists, and the Buddhists, who hold the idea of karma as the foremost doctrine, once having touched the idea of the goal that is to be attained by spirituality, which they call mukti or nirvana, rise above the idea of karma. For unless a person has risen above that idea, he or she does not touch nirvana. The verbal meaning of nirvana is no (nir) color (vana)-no color, no label, no division.
