There are four major categories of Liberation as discussed in the Bhakti Shastra. They are... 1) Salokya: To ascend to the same plane of Vishnu; 2) Samipya: to be in close proximity to Lord Vishnu and to be able to see His beautiful countenance at all times. 3) Sarupya: to attain the same form as Maha Vishnu, the four-handed divine form. 4) Sayujya: to become one with the form of Maha Vishnu.
