Even if one sits in front of God and looks at him for one kalp,1 one will not become detached from the vishays without falsifying them.2 If one attains the company of the Sadhu, then he can detach one from the vishays. Even the experience of nirvikalp samādhi will not cause one to detach from them. However, if one attains the gnān samādhi, then one can detach from the vishays.3 Footnotes: 1. 1. A kalp is one day of Virat-Brahmā from his day to night. This equal 4,320,000,000 human years. 2. Here, Swami is explaining that without actively falsifying the vishays through the firm thought process of Sankhya along with renouncing the vishays, one cannot overcome the weakness for enjoying them. 3. Here, Swami explains that if one experiences samādhi by mastering Ashtāng Yog, one will still have cravings for enjoying the vishays. Therefore, one needs gnān - understanding the temporary nature of the world, understanding one’s true form as the ātmā and understanding of God’s form and his greatness. This gnān is only attained by the association of the Aksharbrahman Satpurush.
