3 resultsfor “Nishchay” · clear
- nishchay
- Unfaltering faith in Bhagvãn, no matter what is seen or heard.
- nishkãm bhakta
- Superficially appears to be a sakãm bhakta, but inwardly, that bhakta has perfect nishchay and wishes for nothing except the murti of Bhagvãn. If inner enemies cause disturbances within, or a desire for pleasures other than the murti of Bhagvãn arises, he feels intense guilt. Even if he has only a slight amount of ãtmã-nishthã and vairãgya, such a bhakta still attains profound bliss in the dhãm of Bhagvãn after leaving his body.
- sakãm bhakta
- A bhakta who superficially appears to be a tyãgi and nishkãmi. However, he does not have wish for the murti of Bhagvãn, but instead has desires for the darshan of the ãtmã and the four types of mukti. Even if his nishchay is perfect, is a great tyãgi, has firm vairãgya, intense ãtmã- nishthã, and he is not disturbed by inner enemies, if he desires anything other than the pratyaksha svarup of Bhagvãn, then even if he is in the higher loks, he will certainly attain less bliss.
