It has been previously said that even a person who has the knowledge of Brahman also performs prohibited actions. Is this applicable to all such j~nAnI’s or only to some? To this we reply. This is not applicable those souls who have the eligibility to qualify for the post of four-faced Brahma. But, what about the other devatas? Usually they also do not perform such prohibited actions. But, they may very rarely perform such actions and experience a slight cut in the bliss after liberation as a result.
