Sage Parāśara (addressing the Supreme Lord Vishnu while instructing Maitreya)
Concept: Direct vision of the supremely subtle Parātman brings the highest cessation of ignorance, and the mind rests solely in His excellent form without other support.
Vedantic Theme: Moksha
Application: Practice steady contemplation (dhyāna) and scriptural inquiry that culminate in one-pointed God-centered absorption rather than scattered supports.
Vishishtadvaita: Liberation is portrayed not as blank indeterminacy but as stable repose in the ‘vareṇya-rūpa’ of the Supreme—aligning mokṣa with personal Bhagavad-anubhava.
Vishnu Form: Para-Brahman
Bhakti Type: Shanta
It presents Vishnu as the innermost, all-pervading Supreme Reality—beyond gross perception—known through refined insight rather than sensory grasping.
He states that the highest cessation of ignorance arises from truly beholding the Supreme; once that vision occurs, the intellect rests in the Lord alone without seeking any other support.
Vishnu is praised as Para-Atman ‘beyond the beyond,’ the supreme object of contemplation whose realization grants liberation by ending ignorance.
