There are six kinds of ātmārāmas: the neophyte (sādhaka) student who is absorbed in Brahman realization (brahmamaya), one who has already attained the Brahman position (prāpta-brahma-laya), one who desires to be liberated (mumukṣu), one who is liberated even in this life (jīvan-mukta), and one who is self-realized (prāpta-svarūpa).
