Madhvaon Brahma Sūtra 4.4.20

Scripture says that the released is meditating on the Lord thus : “ He remains singing this psalm,” (Tait. JII. 10), and there is neither increase nor diminution of bliss, etc., enjoyed by the released; on the other hand their state of blessedness is the same unchanging one through eter- nity. This is said in the Jâbâla Sruti : “ And this re- leased soul who has attained to Brahman in this world of heaven has no birth, no death, no decrease, no increase, but he is always in the same unshaken state of blessed- ness, always seeing Brahman as the highest, and contem- plating Him as his Lord ; and of him who thns sees and contemplates Brahman for ever, their is neither increase nor decrease ; ” also in the Mokshadharma : “ That is heaven having attained to which the soul has no death, no birth, does not decrease or increase.” Moreover there is the authority of Direct Perception of the wise and of In- ference by others as to the absence of causes that could change the released. Accordingly the Brahma-Vaivarta says : “ The released never undergo either increase or decrease ; for that is known to be true from the percep- tion of the wise and the inference drawn from the absence of the causes of change ; and the contemplation of the Supreme in that world is but eternal bliss ; it is not the means to an end ; for there it does not proceed from fear of evil; therefore it is but the end.”
