Sri Vishnusahasranama: Muktaanam Paramaa Gatih

[Guest guest]

Jai Srimannarayana!

 

Muktaanaam paramaa gatih -He who is the final Goal ( " parama gathi " ), that is

reached by all the liberated souls ( " mukta " ). The limitations and bondages lived

through by man are in fact the destiny of the matter vestures (meaning:

something that covers). Through delusion of non-understanding, we identify with

them and come to suffer the consequent sense of imperfections. To liberate

ourselves from the thraldom (meaning: to enslave) of matter is to realize the

Self. Hence the Truth is defined as the Supreme Goal of the emancipated.

 

This ‘Goal’ to be attained is called as ‘Gati’ in Sanskrit, “The Supreme Goal”

(Paramaa Gatih) would necessarily be then that Goal, having reached which, there

is no return:
