Common themes
Indian philosophies share many concepts such as dharma, karma, samsara, dukkha, renunciation, , with almost all of them focusing on the ultimate goal of liberation of the individual from dukkha and samsara through diverse range of spiritual practices (moksha, nirvana). While many sutra texts explicitly mention that the work leads to moksha, Indian philosophy is not exclusively concerned with moksha.
