NIRVANA (Nirúvaúna) = 1. A state of liberation from unhappiness. Nirvana frees one from suffering and fear of death. It is the highest, transcendent consciousness, referred to in the Bhagavad-Gita as brahman-nirvana.
2. The goal of spiritual practice in all branches of Buddhism. In the understanding of early Buddhism, it is departure from the cycle of unhappiness and entry into an entirely different mode of existence. It requires complete overcoming of the three unwholesome roots--undisciplined-desire, hatred, and delusion. Nirvana is unconditioned consciousness and its characteristic marks are pausing the activities of the mind in a state of consciousness.
