328 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Madhya-lila, Ch. 19
therefore clearly said in this verse: koti-mukta-madhye ‘durlabha’ eka krsna-bhak-
ta. Those who search after the knowledge of impersonal Brahman or localized
Paramatma are certainly accepted as liberated, but due to their imperfect knowl-
edge they are described in Srimad-Bhagavatam as vimukta-maninah. Since their
knowledge is imperfect, their conception of liberation is imperfect. Perfect knowl-
edge is possible when one knows the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is
supported in Bhagavad-gita (5.29):
bhoktararn yajfia-tapasam
sarva-loka-mahesvaram
suhrdam sarva-bhatanam
jfatva mar santim rcchati
“The sages, knowing Me as the ultimate purpose of all sacrifices and austerities,
the Supreme Lord of all planets and demigods and the benefactor and well-wisher
of all living entities, attain peace from the pangs of material miseries.”

Research is going on for the karmis, jfidnis and yogis, but until the search is
complete, no one can attain peace. Therefore Bhagavad-gitad says, jfatva mam
santim rcchati: one can actually attain peace when he knows Krsna. This is de-
scribed in the next verse.
