Namaste, One cannot choose after liberation, this is a contradiction in terms. One can put off liberation, it is said, and then come back as an avatar or bhodisattva with the desire to help. This however does involve a certain involvment with prarabda karma as well. The Self or Saguna is only there as long as you think that you are a person, or pre realisation IMHO.................ONS..Tony. --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
