Purification through Sadhana must take place for realisation to occur. ( this is my point of departure with the verbal non dualists), Ramana says 'See the God', for he knows that when one has a purified vijnanamayakosa one has Moksha, and in essence becomes 'God'. God can only be seen with spiritual eyes as long as one is embodied. On bodiless Mukti 'God' disappears in favour of Nirguna............ONS...Tony.
