Just as King Janak was wise, they may become wise, but those on the path of active worldly life cannot attain the state of perfection like Narad, Sanakadik, and Shukji. And he who is perfected, Read a little further from there, two or three lines.

When samadhi occurs, one attains oneness with Brahma, then his knowledge increases. Is that what is written? Read those two or three lines again from before. And when, through samadhi, he attains an equal state with Brahma, then the jiva is also said to be Brahma-rup rup A sight. One of the panch-vishays.

That is what it means, right? That is what it can be said to mean. That King Janak did have oneness with Brahma, he was established in samadhi; though there is no explicit clarification of this in some places, indirectly King Janak was established in samadhi. So which samadhi? Yogeshwar was in his court, so was King Janak himself sitting down to perform pranayama? That means it would be a samadhi of knowledge, as Maharaj... one can infer, because looking at all the situations and characters, King Janak must have attained the samadhi of knowledge. Actually, King Janak... to Yogeshwar... yoga, yoga... through his own yogic yogic That which is of a yog or yogi. [Vadtãl – 4]. Tap to open in glossary → he had shown the city of Mithila burning. For those Yogeshwars, he had shown it through his own divine power. So divine power was certainly present in him.

But in other places, Maharaj has, in some places, said that Maharaj has made the samadhi of ashtanga yoga secondary, and Maharaj has elevated the samadhi of knowledge. Vachanamrut... even in the first Vachanamrut of Vadtal, Maharaj said that the method of samadhi is different. The method is different, which means Maharaj's indication is towards a samadhi like that of King Janak. King Janak would not go astray. One who has the samadhi of knowledge, meaning his faith in God has been established through knowledge, he would never go astray. And the one with the samadhi of ashtanga yoga, he does obtain knowledge, but here Maharaj... here Maharaj has called both equal. In this Vachanamrut, Maharaj has called both equal. That is... rather than calling them equal, he has not made a comparison, but it is not that his knowledge becomes less; knowledge does occur. The knowledge that was obtained in samadhi, when he returns from that samadhi, he does not forget it here. The yogic yogic That which is of a yog or yogi. [Vadtãl – 4]. Tap to open in glossary → It is not called a state of perfection. King Janak cannot fly and go directly to Shvetadvip, can he? Here, if divine power... that must be happening when one attains oneness with Brahma, so divine power must be occurring. Divine power must be coming. Parvatbhai and others, were they all in the state of perfection? Divine power was present in them. Divine power was indeed present, such that they could do whatever they wished, all that divine power. That brother, Bhimbhai, when he went to the farm, he thought, 'When will these ants be liberated?' and immediately spacecraft arrived. So that is certainly called divine power, isn't it? This happens by his resolve. It is called divine power. Divine power was indeed present in all of them in that. But there was no nivrutti nivrutti 1) Inactivity. State of quietness and obedience.
