His devotees. The joy of her union with God is supersensuous and indescribable. She had Madburarasabhakti for Lord Krşņa. Kșşņa is the only male person in the universe. NARASIMHA MEHTA
... 688 His personality. Deliverance can be attained only through siucere devotion to God. God is both personal and impersonal. God is Saccidānanda and possesses eternal brilliance. He is omnipresent, extremely subtle, and real agent of actions. Mokşa is attainable not by scholastic knowledge of scriptures, not by religious rites, but by sincere devotion to God. The devotees seek not liberation, but joy in the service of God. Mokșa can be attained by persons of any caste and social status.
CAITANYA
... 701 His personality. Spiritual fervour and maddeping dances. His dualism of soul and God. God can be realised through sincere devotion. His view similar to that of Nimbārka.

TUKĀRĀMA
His personality. The ultimate Reality is single, eterval, infinite, formless, all-pervading, onnipresent, omniscient, immutable, unpolluted. Although Nirguņa, it becomes Saguņa for devotees. God-Vithobā, Pānduranga, is present everywhere. God sports with Himself. He is immanent and transcendant. God can be realised through wholehearted devotion. Suffering due to worldly desires. No need for austere penance. God does all actions. He is like the closest relative-e.g. father, mother, etc. to the soul. Supersensuous joy of drinking Divine Joy. Mokşa
