Jayapataka Swami: So there are five kinds of liberation. And one is the liberation called sayuja mukti which is merging into the Brahma jyoti, which is the effulgence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. And the other four are swarupa, salokya, samipya and sarsti – having a similar divine form of the Lord, living on the same planet, having similar opulence and having some direct association of the Lord. So, devotee can accept the other four, but he doesn’t want to merge in. If the other four included devotional service, then he can accept.
