Hello, terastar....."free spirit" The verb "to free" in Sanskrit is muc, मुच्. The derived adjective is mukta, मुक्त्. There are many words in Sanskrit that mean spirit, and that mean spirit with different shades of meaning. Ātman , आत्मन् is the closest in meaning to the way spirit is used, and it is a Sanskrit word, out of many, for soul. (It is also the word for spirit in Hindi). Indeed, the Sanskrit word muktātman, मुक्तामन् means emancipated soul; one whose soul is liberated, or emancipated. |
