So, is it that if a devotee is doing maushal lila, fighting with the lord, then that devotee gets killed as in the demoniac rule and will that devotee also go to impersonal liberation? Not necessarily.
When any statement is made, we have to look at the context and the intent. If we say that every single character in the lord’s lila is special, yes they are special, but speciality is of various degrees. Say if you say Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, he delivered thousands of people during his travels in India, wherever he travelled.
Now if we say that actually no ordinary soul can interact with Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. All the souls who interacted with him were special souls. Then calling him patit pavan is useless because the souls were not patit at all.
They are already pavan. So then that doesn’t make much sense. Now we could say that definitely some of his eternal associates came with him and many of his principal associates might have been his eternal associates.
But many of the people who interacted along the way during his life course, there were ordinary people who were fortunate. Now for their being in that position, there might be some back story. So for example, I think in the Brahma Vaivarta Puran, there are lot of stories about how particular demons got particular bodies.
Or why somebody became a snake, why somebody became a horse, or whatever. So those are people who were in many ways good people but they were cursed by someone or they did something wrong as a reaction, they got it. That kind of back story might be there.
But it’s not necessary that every single associate of the lord or every single demon whom the lord fights is his associate coming down for Moksha and Leela. Generally it’s Jai Vijay. But there’s no mention, say for example that many of the other demons that Krishna killed, they were his associate performing Moksha and Leela with him.
That mention that he came for fighting is only for Jai and Vijay. And for the various forms in which they killed. It may have happened for other demons and as we mentioned in some scriptures, but that is not the only reality.
There are demons also who come there and then they are developed and for them it is a auspicious elevation to be killed in person. Devotees won’t go there.
