The five forms of liberation.
To the pure beings who have surrendered to Krishna, the Lord, according to their feelings towards Him, grants them one of these five forms of liberation:
That which consists in becoming One with the Lord(*).
The one that allows one to live on the same planet as the Lord.
The one that gives the same bodily features as the Lord.
That which enables one to enjoy the same opulence as the Lord.
The one that allows one to live in the company of the Lord.
For the devotee of Krishna, fusion with the Supreme Being would be worse than hell, for this form of liberation is diabolical.
In truth, anyone who finds himself established in the practice of the pure service of absolute love offered to the Lord must be considered to have already attained all forms of liberation. The devotee naturally takes great pleasure in serving Krishna, may this sublime service of love and devotion offered to the Lord bring him more joy than would these various forms.
In truth, liberation is returning to one's original spiritual form. It is the return of the being, once it has freed itself from any material conception of existence, to its original spiritual condition. It is to see the chains that keep us prisoners of matter break, and thus find true freedom.
This is the true resurrection.
(*) In reality, the holy being, the devotee, apart from rejecting mere sensual pleasures, does not accept for himself any of these forms of liberation, least of all the first one, which consists in merging into the radiance of the Lord, as desired by the impersonalists (those who claim that God is an Impersonal Being without form, such as the believers on earth), the theoreticians and the followers of meditation.
