"This truth is taught by the Monist school that Krishna is God Himself; He dwells in the form of the _Swarup_ power; spreading out in the forms of _swámsha_ and _bibhinnámsha_, He disports Himself in Ananta, _Vaikuntha_, and Brahmanda. The four-sided incarnations are His _swámsha_ extension. The created world is the example of His _bibhinnámsha_ power. Such creatures are of two classes, _viz._, one ever liberated, the other ever fettered to the world. The ever liberated are ever eager for Krishna's feet; they are named Krishna's followers and they enjoy the bliss of serving Him. The ever fettered are ever excluded from Krishna, and ever feel the sufferings of Hell; the Fury, Illusion, ever torments them for that reason; the three internal agonies scourge them; they are kicked at by Lust, Anger [and other deadly sins] whose slaves they are. If in the course of their life's wanderings they meet with a saint as their healer, his teaching like a charm exorcizes the demon (Illusion) out of them; then they feel _bhakti_ for Krishna and come to Him. Faith in Krishna is the supreme end (_abhidheya_). Worthless are the fruits of other kinds of devotion, such as work, _yog_, and knowledge,--in comparison with the bliss of _bhakti_; the former cannot give us Krishna unless we have _bhakti_ in Him. _Vide Bhágabat_ I. v. 12 and II. iv. 16. Knowledge dissociated from _bhakti_ cannot give salvation; but a man devoted to Krishna can gain salvation without knowledge. _Vide Bhágabat_, X. xiv. 4 and the _Gitá_, vii. 14.
