- 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.
