Adi-tila, Chapter 5 397

PURPORT

There are two kinds of liberated souls—those who are liberated by the favor of
the Lord and those who are liberated by their own effort. One who gets liberation
by his own effort is called an impersonalist, and he merges in the glaring effulgence
of the Lord, the brahmajyoti. But devotees of the Lord who qualify themselves for
liberation by devotional service are offered four kinds of liberation, namely sd/okya
(status equal to that of the Lord), sémipya (constant association with the Lord),
sarsti (opulence equal to that of the Lord) and saripya (features like those of the
Lord).
