FAQs
It indicates a unitive realization in which the seeker perceives Viṣṇu as non-different from the innermost Self (Ātman), rather than as merely an external deity.
It states that those who attain this unitive vision do not undergo “punarudbhava” (rebirth), implying liberation through direct knowledge/realization of Viṣṇu as the Self.
Cultivate God-centered contemplation that matures into inner realization—recognizing the imperishable Viṣṇu as one’s own Self—rather than remaining at a purely outward or ritual level.
