Acharya Bhikshu reflected upon religion (धर्म), nonviolence (अहिंसा), kindness (दया) and charity (दान) from the point of view of salvation (मोक्ष). Therefore it is not possible to make a correct appraisal of his concept of dharma without understanding the concept of moksha. Western philosophers have not given much thought to these concepts. Some philosophers have no doubt donesome thinking on God and souls, but moksha has not been a subject of serious thinking in the west.
