One who gets liberation by his own effort is called an impersonalist, and he merges into 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 sÄlokya (status equal to that of the Lord), sÄmÄ«pya (constant association with the Lord), sÄrá¹£á¹i (opulence equal to that of the Lord) and sÄrÅ«pya (features like those of the Lord).
