- What is called the status of Anadimukta?
- Why accomplish the status of Anadimukta?
- Why is it compulsory to elevate to the status of Anadimukta after attainment of Anadimukta?
After discernment of the form of Lord Swaminarayan as it is, realistically, means conviction of nishtha and after affirmation of the form of soul as purushottamroop, Anadimukta realistically, we should not believe that task is accomplished in all respect. After discernment of both these forms and believing oneself (soul) to be purushottamroop Anadimukta. One should meditate in pratilom mode on Lord Swaminarayan (Purushottam) so as to become one with His form so much so intimately upto the level of fluff in fluff and thereby attain stability in the bliss of Murti that is called status of Anadimukta (sthiti).
One has to become similar to the object of pleasure, then only one can avail its pleasure. We find that insects of turmeric are as yellow as turmeric and insects of chilly are as red as chilly and insects of wood are of the color of wood. Then only the insects can avail the pleasure. Similarly, if the soul is to avail the bliss of super soul Lord Swaminarayan, the soul has to transform into the form identical to the Murti of Lord Swaminarayan (purushottamroop). The only means for this transformation is pratilom meditation. By means of pratilom meditation, formless soul transform into definite shape, identital to Purushottam, called purushottamroop and become one with the form of Purushottam upto the minute level of fluff in fluff and enjoy the bliss of each and every fluff of Murti in rasbas mode. Thus, he becomes stable in the bliss, which is called status of Anadimukta.
After accomplishment of the status of Anadimukta, the mukta dwell in the Murti of Lord Swaminarayan, Purushottam and His appearance remains as of Purushottam. Two entities, Maharaj and mukta are separated as master and servitor. However, the appearance is the same. That is called Doctrine of vishishtadwait. Such accomplished mukta are constantly enjoying the bliss of Murti dwelling in Murti. They always experience that only Maharaj is here in pratilom position.
After associating with karan satsang, one must understand the difference between attainment (prapti) and status(sthiti) of Anadimukta. If we could not grasp the realistic difference between these two words, we would be very deficient.
Let us understand these words by practical examples. Suppose we are very much hungry, and we get the food dish with sweets, farsan and many food items of our choice, that is called attainment (prapti). When we eat the food items to our satisfaction and give a belch out of satisfaction, that is called status (sthiti) accomplished.
We want to go to the USA and a visa is granted to us, that is attainment. When we book a ticket and sit in an airplane, we reach the USA airport, that is called accomplishment of status (sthiti).
Getting admission in college is attainment, whereas after completing our degree, we get employment and get salary that is accomplishment (sthiti).
Thus, attainment is a beginning whereas accomplishment (sthiti) is the end, completion. When we entered in karan satsang, we have realistic discernment of the form of Maharaj, we solidified our nistha. Moreover, Satpurush gave us vows and initiated us as Anadimukta, that is attainment. But we can’t avail ourselves of the bliss of Murti yet, inner enemies and vices are causing troubles, consciousness of being body is impeding. This is because we have not accomplished the ultimate status. As such, it is quintessential to accomplish the ultimate status (sthiti).
Why is it compulsory to accomplish the ultimate status after attainment (prapti)? The answer is very simple, that after getting dish of food items, one must eat it to serve the purpose. Why is marriage compulsory after engagement? Same is the question that why the accomplishment of status compulsory after attainment is. If we want to satisfy our hunger, we must eat the meal. Besides, the meal is prepared only for the purpose of eating it. Similarly, if we want to enjoy the bliss of Murti, accomplishment of ultimate status is compulsory. Even though we are pleased with attainment, for experience of bliss, it is compulsory to elevate to the ultimate status. Moreover, we have acquired realistic knowledge of soul and super soul (Parmatma) only for availment of the bliss of Murti and accomplishment of the ultimate status.
Besides, there are many hurdles in between attainment to accomplishment, just like after obtaining dish of meal, if we don’t eat it, there are possibilities of facing many hurdles. Food dishes may overturn, insects may fall into it, it may spoil due to much delay, anyone else eat it. Similarly, if we do not proceed further after attainment, then due to consciousness of being body, egotism and feeling of my and mine and inner enemies, there are possibilities of many hurdles coming in the way and salvation is missed and communion we have got may go off. It is therefore said by Bapashree in His vato (discourse), ‘Don’t consider yourself unfulfilled and don’t sit idle considering yourself fulfilled.’
Not to consider oneself unfulfilled means, our attainment is not incomplete. In this regard we are fulfilled. We have been surely transformed into Anadimukta cent percent. We have already got salvation. We have not to take next birth. However, we should not sit idle on this count means we should persevere for accomplishment of the status of Anadimukta.
