"One should now appreciate that Sadhs, Gyanis, devotees,
incarnations, prophets and other high souls who did not attain to the
Original Abode, rank much lower and are inferior to Sants. Since they
stopped at different stages in the course of their upward journey,
different religions came to be promulgated in the world. Whichever
stage a person reached, he regarded it as final and its deity as
infinite. So he prescribed the worship of that very deity. The
reason is, that the Supreme Father has, in His bounty, created all the
regions as reflections or shadows of the original one, so that in the
lower regions also there is a resemblance more or less of the blissful
conditions and features prevalent in the highest. But, there is a
great difference in the intensity of the bliss and its duration in the
various regions. The creation in each region is also distinct,
increasing in purity and subtleness as one goes higher and higher.
But only he who has been through all the regions can know this.
Otherwise, he who reached a particular stage, saw the form and
effulgence of its deity and took him to be infinite, limitless,
creator and supreme. He was so enraptured that he quite forgot
himself. The state of bliss, ecstasy and ardour experienced by him
cannot be described."
