A liberated soul usually does not care for God-manifestation on earth. He feels that once he is liberated, his role in the cosmic Drama is ended. A realised soul cries for God-manifestation. He feels that once he is realised, his role in the cosmic Drama has properly begun.

A liberated soul is freed from the meshes of ignorance and, at the same time, is extremely careful of wild ignorance. A realised soul has discovered his own inner divinity, which is flooded with God’s all-seeing Vision and all-fulfilling Reality.

A liberated soul usually uses God according to his own capacity. A realised soul uses God only when asked by God Himself.

The human and the unreal in us cease in liberation. The divine and the real in us begin in realisation.
