If liberation of the jiva is achieved through knowledge, then? Through the knowledge of Paramatma, 'tam eva viditva', liberation is achieved through the knowledge of Paramatma. But Paramatma is of many types; there are many types of Paramatma. One is the transcendent form of God. One is the form of God visible to the eyes. One is the self-experiential form of God. So, through whose knowledge is liberation achieved? What did he say? The manifest one who has come and is seated. Liberation is achieved through the knowledge of the manifest form of God. Is liberation not achieved through the knowledge of the transcendent form? Does it not happen when He is manifest? Huh? That happens when God has taken an avatar and come upon the earth. But the transcendent form is eternal and constant, so is liberation not achieved through the knowledge of His form? I am asking you this. It is not. Should I ask all of them? Then they have forgotten what they had memorized. There is no desire for contemplation. It has been 10 years, so how much have you contemplated? It has been 5 years, 10 years, what have you done? Is liberation not achieved through that form? Huh? Through contemplation of the tamas form, actually, it is not even such that it can be grasped by contemplation. The cause of liberation is when God has assumed a human body and come here on earth. Maharaj said that everyone knows the transcendent form through the scriptures. Everyone knows the transcendent form through the scriptures, but liberation is achieved by knowing the manifest Maharaj who has come in human form. And by not knowing Him, liberation is not achieved. Then Maharaj says further in this that such is Lord Shri Krishna Krishna 1) An avatãr of Bhagvãn. He incarnated in the svarup of a cowherd. This is considered to be a greater avatãr than the others, as Shree Krishna possessed all of the powers of Bhagvãn, whereas other avatãrs possessed less power. Shree Krishna conveyed the message of love and humanity to the world. Also, He recited the epic poem, the Bhagvad Geetã, to Arjun in which He stated: ‘Whenever dharma declines and adharma increases, I shall incarnate myself as a human to save the holy, to destroy the sin of the sinner, and to establish dharma. I come into being from yug to yug’. 2) In the Vachanãmrut, Shreeji Mahãrãj also uses the name “Shree Krishna” to describe Bhagvãn Purushottam Nãrãyan.

And the meaning of knowing the form of the abode is to know it through the scriptures; how they are described in the scriptures, that is the description of the form of the abode. Whom do the scriptures describe? The supreme element that exists. The supreme element, supreme element means the one in God's abode, so by that, if one studies the scriptures, studies the Gita, then? He has learned everything. So, is he liberated? Maharaj raised a doubt that everyone knows Him through the scriptures. Still, they are said to know. Similarly, everyone sees with their eyes, everyone sees. So, does liberation happen because of that? It happens after many births, Maharaj. It does not happen in this very birth. In this very birth, we do not even want to go anywhere. Do you want to achieve liberation in this very birth or after many births? In this very birth. Then, brother, you have made a great decision. When does Brahmaswami want to achieve liberation? If there is a manifest form and one just looks with the eyes, even then liberation, liberation does not happen. Maharaj said that liberation happens when the jiva-satta knows itself as dependent on Him. Now, what did Maharaj say is the meaning of knowing the jiva-satta as dependent on Him?

He is seen in meditation; there, no other senses or antahkaran can know Him, meaning the senses and antahkaran cannot know Him. If you are meditating, who else would know; so there, the senses and antahkaran of others do not reach. Only one's own reach; such a form of God is seen in meditation.

It is experienced by oneself, so Maharaj says that although meditation happens through the antahkaran, its substratum is the jiva. So, knowledge through the senses is easily understood, like having darshan darshan Seeing. To see with admiration and devotion.

The forms of God are such that they can be known through the antahkaran and known as dependent on the jiva-satta; one is the knowledge that does not fall within the measure of the senses and antahkaran, which is the transcendent form. There is also a knowledge of God that does not fall within the area of the senses and antahkaran, which is the knowledge of the transcendent form, and one knows it through the scriptures. So, does knowledge happen through that, does liberation happen through that? How beautifully Maharaj has analyzed this, as to through which form liberation is achieved. Among those, some tasks are such that the antahkaran and senses cannot reach them, and they are known only through experiential knowledge; then, for the fulfillment of such tasks, 'I meditated', or did not meditate, how is that known? Only oneself knows, through experience, Maharaj. then, for the fulfillment of such tasks, God also assumes a corresponding form. Meaning, for the fulfillment of meditation, God assumes a thumb-sized form in our heart, and appears according to the devotee's yearning. If there is no yearning, nothing is seen. If one is just sitting with closed eyes, and performs mansi puja for fifteen minutes or half an hour, even then God says 'no problem', God also watches what he is doing. Whether he is dozing off, or has gone wandering somewhere, what is he doing. And some tasks are such that they are known through the senses and antahkaran; then, for the fulfillment of those tasks, God's creative task is known through the antahkaran, which can be understood by the intellect, right? then, for the fulfillment of those tasks, God also becomes like that; therefore, Aniruddha Aniruddha One of the four forms of Bhagvãn’s Vishvarup svarup.
