Dharma is the moral obligation a person has in their life, like a man has certain obligations as a man to fufill like providing for his family. Moksha is liberation. Once moksha is acheived, you can therefore break the chain of karmic consequences and your soul can move on.

There is no conflict between dharma and moksha.

Dharma is doing the right thing.

Moksha is moving beyond limitations.

Dharma is a means to moksha.

There are infinite ways to achieve moksha, dharma is just one path to achieving it.

Most people use a combination of paths in their journey of life to attain moksha.

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. Sometimes it is duty, moral duty, righteous duty that is known as Dharma that stops us from achieving the ultimate goal called Moksha, liberation and unification with the Divine.

What is the link between afterlife and moksha?

Afterlife and Moksha are the two options we have after we finish one chapter of the book called life. We are living and the body will die. The name will finish its journey. But the one who was alive has two options. The first option is an afterlife. The body dies but the mind and ego ME comes back in a new life, in a new body to settle the deeds that are unsettled. But the second opportunity, which is the ultimate goal of life, is to attain Moskha, Nirvana, Enlightenment, Liberation, Salvation, whatever you call it. When we realize we are not the body that dies, we are not even the mind and ego ME, then we realize we are the Divine Soul, and we are liberated and united with the Divine. That is Moksha. Therefore, the difference is either we come back in an afterlife or we attain Moksha.
