Liberation is of four types: Sālokya, co-existence with the Lord in His world. Sārūpya, attaining the same form as that of the Lord. Sāmīpya, proximity as that of the Lord. Sāyujya, absorption into the Lord Himself. The first one progressively leads to the last one. But the thought process of identifying the self with the Lord (sāyujya) leads to fast track emancipation. Mukti is too a wider term and is often mentioned as cessation from transmigration. It is a gradual process and directly related to one's level of devotion. As long as duality persists, liberation cannot be attained. When duality is dissolved, you become Brahman. Whatever you have mentioned are different stages of one's Love for the Divine. These stages are certainly related to different stages of liberation. In the state of sāyujya, your merge with the Divine and you are no reborn. Yes, they are Self-realized ones, but not yet merged with Him except the stage of sāyujya, which is the final stage of liberation. All these stages can be experienced while living with our gross bodies.

Thanks Sir.I have a another query.What about those souls who attained various Mukthi?( like sArUpya ,sAmIpya,sAlokya). Are they are self -realised ones? or they attain Mukthis with great devotion to our Lord even though they are not self-realized.

It depends upon the Guru. It is said that Guru and Brahman are the same. But Guru with uppercase G should be used with great respect. Not everyone whom we come across is Guru. Guru will not accept his disciples' karmas. Karma has to be endured and there is no escape from that. With the able guidance from Guru one can stop accruing further karmas if he or she surrenders to Brahman. How to surrender to Brahman is taught by a Guru. Danger times are the manifestations of one's karmic account. Even Brahman does not stop the effects karmas in one's life.

Ok.Brahma Gnana is another word for Self realisation.Understood.How is it possible for Gurus to accept Devotees Karma and save them during Danger times. Can any realized Souls can do this for their devotees?

Brahmajñānā is knowing Brahman or the knowledge required to know Brahman. Brahmajñāna does not differ from person to person and it is the same for everyone. When it is coming to the knowledge Brahman, everyone is same and there is no difference between Guru or his disciple.

Sir, I heard Shridi Sai baba has given Brahma Gnana to many of his devotees.Is that mean they will get same Gnana as Baba? I feel Disciplines should be one step down of Guru even though they are realised souls.Please advise .

It is perfectly fine to listen to recitations. If you want to recite, follow the audio CDs where in recitals are rendered at moderate speed. You can look for the one recited by T.S Ranganathan.
