Salvation

CRITICAL AND DISTINCT FROM OTHER LANGUAGES: unlike Hindi, where मुक्ति is rejected outright, the established Punjabi Bible translation tradition itself already uses ਮੁਕਤੀ for salvation, and generations of Punjabi Christians know this word from hymns and preaching. This curriculum retains ਮੁਕਤੀ rather than break with that precedent, but requires a MANDATORY clarifying gloss on every doctrinally load-bearing occurrence distinguishing it from Sikh ਮੁਕਤੀ (merger with Waheguru and release from ਆਵਾਗਵਣ, the cycle of transmigration, achieved through the Guru’s grace and Naam-simran). Christian ਮੁਕਤੀ is a decisive, once-for-all reconciliation with a personal God through Christ’s death and resurrection, not a gradual liberation earned or attained through meditative practice.
