and others, who have attained Moksha, do help and guide those devotees who seek their
blessings. How can we explain this apparent contradiction?
Realized souls, who wish to help the devotees even after they give up their physical
bodies, retain their astral bodies (Sukshma Sarira) for the sake of their eagerness to help those
that are in need of their help. But Jivanmuktas, generally, do not retain their astral bodies just in
order to help the aspirants, since there will always be highly evolved souls on the relative plane,
who will carry on the task of teaching the spiritual aspirants.
