He is complete transcendence. And He is ''mūrti'', or having transcendental form. The less intelligent men, who are unaware of His transcendental form, describe Him as impersonal Brahman. But Brahman is simply the rays of His transcendental body [yasya prabhā (BS 5.40])]. The devotees, who are aware of His transcendental form, render Him service; therefore the Lord also reciprocates by His causeless mercy and thus delivers His devotees from all distresses. The pious men who follow the rulings of the ''Vedas'' are also dear to Him, and therefore the pious men of this world are also protected by Him. The impious and the nondevotees are against the principle of the '''Vedas'', so such persons are always hampered from making advances in their nefarious activities. Some of them, who are specially favored by the Lord, are killed by Him personally, as in the cases of Rāvaṇa, Hiraṇyakaśipu, Kaṁsa, etc. and thus such demons get salvation and are thereby checked from further progress in their demoniac activities.

	"The ''paramahaṁsa'' stage of existence is the highest perfectional stage of spiritual values. According to Śrīmatī Kuntīdevī, the Lord is factually understood by the ''paramahaṁsas'' only. As there is gradual realization of the transcendence from impersonal Brahman to localized Paramātmā to the Personality of Godhead, Puruṣottama, Lord Kṛṣṇa, similarly there is gradual promotion of one's situation in the spiritual life of ''sannyāsa''. Kuṭīcaka, bahūdaka, parivrājakācārya and paramahaṁsa are gradual progressive stages in the renounced order of life, ''sannyāsa'', and Queen Kuntīdevī, the mother of the Pāṇḍavas, has spoken about them in her prayers to Lord Kṛṣṇa ([[SB 1.8: Prayers by Queen Kunti and Pariksit Saved\|Canto One, Chapter Eight]]). The ''paramahaṁsas'' are generally found among both the impersonalists and the devotees, but according to ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'' (as it is clearly stated by Kuntīdevī), pure bhakti-yoga is understood by the ''paramahaṁsas'', and she has especially mentioned that the Lord descends ''paritrāṇāya sādhūnām'' ([[BG 4.8 (1972)\|BG 4.8]]) especially to award ''bhakti-yoga'' to the ''paramahaṁsas''. So ultimately the ''paramahaṁsas'', in the true sense of the term, are unalloyed devotees of the Lord. Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī has directly accepted that the highest destination is ''bhakti-yoga'', by which one accepts the transcendental loving service of the Lord. Those who accept the path of ''bhakti-yoga'' are the factual ''paramahaṁsas''.		"The ''paramahaṁsa'' stage of existence is the highest perfectional stage of spiritual values.
