free fiom desires, craving, fear, delusion, pride, egoism, etc.He is a powerhouse of spiritual energy. He radiates hisspiritual currents to the different corners of the world. Sitbefore him. Your doubts will be cleared by themselves. Youwill feel a peculiar thrill of joy and peace in his presence.A Jivanmukta is an ocean of mercy. He tries his level bestto rescue the worldly-minded who are deeply immersed in themire of misery. He guides the aspirants in the attainment ofBrahma Jnana which leads to perfect freedom. His verypresence is thrilling and inspiring. He guides the students byhis mere silence, as the silent Dakshinamurthy guided the fourNaishtika Brahmacharis, Sanaka, Sanandana, Sanatsujata andSanat Kumara, in days of yore.The way of living in Jivanmuktas or sages differs. One sagelives in a princely style. Bhagiratha lived this kind of life.Another sage lives in a beggarly manner. One sage is alwaysin a meditative mood. He never works. He never talks. Helives always in seclusion. Jada Bharata lived this kind of life.Another sage lives in a busy crowded city. He plunges himselfin service. He mixes with the people. He delivers lectures,holds religious classes, writes books, etc. Sankara led this kindof life. This is due to Prarabdha. Every sage has his ownPrarabdha. If all sages lead the same kind of life and have thesame kind of Prarabdha this world will be like a prison.Variety in manifestation is the nature of Prakriti.If the Vasanas and attachment to the object of the worldvanish entirely and if one is in that immovable state, he hasbecome a Jivanmukta. He abides in his own Self. He rests inthe non-dual supreme seat. The Jnana vision arises in him.The light of wisdom will shine unobscured like the sun in theabsence of clouds. He is never attracted to any worldlyobjects. He is absolutely free from delusion and sorrow. Heactually feels that the Self alone pervades and permeateseverywhere in this world. He shines with Brahmic effulgence.WHO IS A JIVANMUKTA 247
