This is for Pushti souls


The following passage is from "Shri Vallabhacharya His Philosophy and Religion" by Prof. Jethalal G.Shan (page 163):

According to Vallabhacharya there are four divisions of knowledge:

1. Laukika - worldly knowledge got by senses and mind, through perception, inference, the word testimony etc.  

2. Alaukika (not worldly). 

This has three sub-divisions: 

A)  Knowledge of Akshara whose goal is absorption in Brahman 

B) Knowledge mixed with The Devotion to God. This is Maryada knowledge leading to liberation of the kind such as Proximity to God, Acquiring powers of God, Residence with God etc. 

C) Knowledge of God’s Bliss or Love-Form with its goal-union with God for participation in His Bliss. 

This is for Pushti souls.
