There are two kinds of beings in this world - perishable and imperishable. All beings are perishable, but the liberated are said to be imperishable. Besides these, there is a supreme divine personality - a supreme indestructible soul that enters the three worlds to support them. I have transcended the perishable world, and am also above the imperishable one - hence, I am celebrated in the Vedas as the supreme divine personality. One who knows me without a doubt to be the supreme self, worships me with the totality of their being.
