Bhagavad Gītā, Chapter 4, Class 159

Acharya Tadany

_______________________________________________________________________________

The Three Non-Negotiable Stages of Spiritual Adulthood, by Acharya Tadany.

(No shortcuts, no skipping, no “I’m special” excuses)

Stage	Name in Sanskrit	What you think God is	Dependency level	Typical Symptoms
1 – Toddler	ēka-rūpa Īśvara	Krishna / Devi / Murugan with a specific name and form.	100% external	“If I miss my temple visit I feel empty.”
2 – Teenager	anēka-rūpa / viśva-rūpa Īśvara	God in everything (trees, rivers, strangers)	50% external	“I see Krishna in everyone” (but still need the murti to cry).”
3 – Adult	arūpa / Nirguṇa Brahman	“I am That”, there is no second thing	0% external	Fullness. Silence. No need for murti, mantra, or even the word “God”.
