Worship, with fixity of consciousness and purity of feeling and
free of all extraneous thought, becomes itself Bhaavasamadhi. As a
result of this Bhaavasamadhi, the Lord appears before the inner
eye of the devotee, in the form which he has chosen for worship.
The vision is not a matter of imagination; it is a 'face'
experience. Without difference of location, he can abide in the
presence of the Lord, in the self-same place. This is called
Saalokyamukthi. Besides being always with the Lord, as in
Saalokyamukthi, Bhakthas realise all that they see as the glory of
the Lord. The experience is referred to as Saamipyamukthi.
Existing ever with the Lord, witnessing always the glory of the
Lord, and becoming suffused with God-consciousness is
Saarupyamukthi. This is the final fruit of bhakthi Sastra. But, at
this stage, there is yet a trace of differential feeling, so the
Adwaitha Siddhantha will not admit it as the highest. Simply
because the bhaktha has Saarupya or same Rupa as the Lord, we
cannot take it that he has powers of Creation, Preservation and
Destruction, which the Lord possesses. It is only when all trace
of difference disappears, and unity is attained that the highest
stage is reached. This is what is called, Saayujya. This comes of
diving Grace, won by the Essence of the Sadhana of each; it cannot
be claimed as the fruit of effort. The Bhaktha will aspire for
this merging or Aikyam. He wishes to serve the Lord as he pleases
and to experience the joy of the Form which he has attributed to
the Lord. But, the Lord out of His Grace, gives him not only
Saalokya, Saamipya and Saarupya but also, Saayujya! Bhakthimarga
results also in the attainment of Brahmajnana. Even if the Bhaktha
does not crave for it, the Lord Himself vouchsafes it to him. The
Saayujyamukthi is also referred to as Ekaanthamukthi.
