Answer 3

The conflict between Dharma and Moksha is this: Dharma tells us to do our moral duty in this world, but Moksha asks us to be liberated from it. Dharma kindergarten; Moksha is a university. Dharma teaches us how to start living, Moksha tells us how to end life. Therefore, more than a conflict between Dharma and Moksha, there is a connection. We start our life with Dharma but we should not end it with Dharma. We should evolve from Dharma to Moksha. Dharma is the foundation, but Moksha is the skyscraper. We have to learn to reach the skies through Moksha, and not be underground with Dharma.
