Atman and Mokpa
the Lord are not to be literally understood. They are symbolic of her supersensuous participation in the Divine sports of the Lord. It is believed that Mirā once said that she regards that there is only one male person in the universe and that is her Lord Kršņa. The men (male persons) on the earth also are like females to Kțşņa. Her love for Krsna was highly sublimated and spiritual, and hence, it was free from passions and sexuality. It is pure and supersensuous. Mirá had that singu. larity of devotion and profundity of love which finally lifted her to the realm of Kışņa. She expe. rienced that thrill and excitement of love for the Lord which Chaitanya had. Mīrā ultimately secured identity with the Lord by means of her powerful and pure love for Him. She is reported to have finally disappeared in her Lord in her final trance.
