The liberated soul (mukta) experiences non-difference ( 37119710) with that which is opposed to its finite nature and is different from it? The liberated soul does not lose its sense of egoity or (ahamarthaḥ 36#*:) even in Mokşa; it retains it in Moksa and manifests itself there in all its perfect powers of intelligence, bliss and other powers which appear only in limited magnitudes in its phenomenal existence. The jivas attain omniscience in the state of Mokşa.3 Nimbārka maintains further that the liberated soul (mukta) experiences the very Brahman which is free from the modifications like origin, etc., and naturally it is an ocean of infinite qualities which are unimaginable, and it is possessed of glory and brilliance. The liberated individual soul establishes itself in such an invisible Brahman and enjoys the very essence of it and becomes happy for ever. The soul becomes more powerful but is free from the affairs of the world (jagadvyāpāravarjamजगद्व्यापारवर्जम् ). It enjoys all the joys and the perfect bliss along with Krsņa; it becomes competent to enjoy the joy of the Brahman and when it enjoys such a principle of intelligence and illumination 1 Nimbārka : Brahma Mimāṁsā Bhāsya, 3.4.27. 2 Ibid. 4.4.4. मुक्तः परस्मात् आत्मानं विभागविरोधेन अविभागेन अनुभवति । 3 Ibid. 4.4.16. मुक्ति-अवस्थायां च सर्वज्ञत्वम् । 4 Ibid. 4.4. 19.
