of Godhead, for one's remaining merged in the Brahman effulgence is not always assured. As it is said,  āruhya kṛcchreṇa paraṁ padaṁ tataḥ patanty adho 'nādṛta-yuṣmad-aṅghrayaḥ : one may merge in the Brahman feature of the Absolute Truth, but there is a chance that one may fall because of not being acquainted with Adhokṣaja, or Vāsudeva.

brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā 
    na śocati na kāṅkṣati 
    samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu 
    mad-bhaktiṁ labhate parām
“One who is transcendentally situated at once realizes the Supreme Brahman and becomes fully joyful. He never laments nor desires to have
