"Those who are devotees of God do not at all like to quibble over whether or not God's form is composed of elements. A devotee realises, 'God is God. There is no scope of dividing or discarding any part of Him. That very God is the ãtmã of countless brahmãnds.' One who has no doubts at all regarding the nature of God should be known to have attained nirvikalp state. One with such stable understanding should be known as 'sthitapragna'.
"Just a person who has realised his atma is called 'sthitapragna', a devotee of God who behaves as follows is called 'sthitapragna' with regards to the form of Purushottam:
"Entertaining no doubts at all regarding the nature of God, he glorifies God's weaknesses in exactly the same way as he glorifies His strengths. He also glorifies those actions and incidents of God that appear to be inappropriate, in exactly the same way that he glorifies actions and incidents that are appropriate - without harbouring any doubts about the appropriateness and inappropriateness of those actions and incidents. Such a devotee should be known as 'sthitapragna' with regards to the nature of Purushottam. One who has developed such a firm conviction of the nature of Purushottam has nothing more left to understand."
