Gadhada Middle Section, Vach. 66

Shreejimaharaj asked Shuk Muni, “A disciple of God has attained a sakshatkar about God and the sants of God. What kind of attainment does such a person receive whilst he is alive and what kind of attainment does he receive after dieing?” Shuk Muni then pleaded, “Oh Maharaj! The answer to that will only be gained from You.” Shreejimaharaj explained, “Whilst alive, the person who has attained God and the sants of God occupies his day and night with the discourses (katha) and devotional songs (kirtans) of God. He gains a sakshat visualisation of his own soul, which transcends the three states of the body and realises that it is Brahm-roop. He becomes dispassionate about all objects other than God. He discards all immorality and remains in accordance with the religious decree. When such a disciple leaves his body, God makes him just like Himself. Just as God said to Brahma, ‘Oh Brahma! Through My mercy, may you attain the knowledge of My nature, My greatness, the virtues that exist in Me and the episodes that I have performed.’ This is what He promised to Brahma. Similarly, God ensures that the same attainment is bestowed to all His ardent disciples. In addition, just as God is free from time (Kaal), deeds (karma) and Maya, the disciples of God also become liberated from time, deeds and Maya. In this manner, he remains constantly in the service of God; and this is the attainment he receives when he leaves the body. That is the answer to that question.” (Gadhada Middle Section Vach. 66 Vachanamrut Rahasyarth Pradeepika Tika)
