Kinda hard to articulate it with my western mindset (I'm a Christian, not Hindi), but Moksha is a release from the cycle of death/rebirth and also is liberation of the self.
You could tie it to Nirvana, which is the state of bliss/peace where all passions are finally quieted and thus we are balanced and at rest rather than driven.
We are generally "ego-centered" minds, which clearly individuated selves. When you reach Moksha, you are transcended and sort of lose that strong sense of being separate from everything else (an isolated entity), having realized and experienced you are part of everything else around you.
I would say it focuses on "being" rather than "doing." The self is not manipulating the world and events but rather being part of the fabric of them, since everything is one.
It is more than just the notion that we belong to the world (such as the social activists experience), it is an actual losing of the boundaries of self and you lose the need to strive and fight to establish things for yourself, gather power, defend oneself, and whatever else that is involved with being an isolated individual with a self-directed will.
Again, it is like a state of total equanimity or peace.

Moksha, Salvation or Nirvana can be spelled by one word.
