“ ‘Even a liberated soul merged in the impersonal Brahman effulgence is attracted to the pastimes of Kṛṣṇa. He thus installs a Deity and renders the Lord service.’
Highly elevated MÄyÄvÄdÄ« sannyÄsÄ«s sometimes worship the RÄdhÄ-Kṛṣṇa Deity and discuss the pastimes of the Lord, but their purpose is not elevation to Goloka Vá¹›ndÄvana.
