Enlightenment, Savikalpa, Nirvikalpa

Sri Sadgurubhyoh Namah
Dear Guruji,

The following is what I am thinking today, pls rectify,

Liberation : For a bound soul, Guru shows a way to take a detached view of the world. This relieves him of the suffering. This is liberation.
Enlightened living : A liberated soul does not identify with body and mind, and not in illusion of world that it is permanent, and acts in the world without attachment, but as a lila, out of pure joy. Enlightenment is a beginning, not an end goal. This is sahaja samadhi.
An enlightened soul is a free bird. 
Savikalpa : pinnacle of yogic practices, but is a state of mind. illusion is not gone totally.
Nirvikalpa : No disturbance of mind. mind has become no-mind. Its a samadhi where engagement with world is not there.
A liberated soul, can choose rigorous yogic practices to attain savikalpa, or nirvikalpa or choose to take up a living of his choice. 

Hari Om
