Query from Nityananda Gauraanga Naam book


Dear Swamiji and Devotees,

Nityananda ! Gauraanga ! Hare Krishna !

I came across two queries while reading the book Nityananda Gauraanga Naam and would be very grateful for someone to help me with the same.

1- It says that the acharyas have directly descended from the spiritual world so we must not imitate them.

Here it says the acharyas descended directly from the spiritual world. Does this mean that Bhaktivinod Thankur, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati and Shrila Prabhupada all had descended directly from the spiritual world ?

2- It also says that ' if the sadhaka who is full of offenses, gives up his sense of false pride of thinking himself on the perfected stage, and thus approaches the Names of the two Jagadgurus Lords Nityananda and Gauranga, worships Them and accepts Their instructions, Their Pastimes and Their devotees, They will quickly deliver him from all offenses and reward him with the realization of Their own forms (svarupas) of Svayam-Rupa (Lord Gauranga) and Svayam-Prakasa (Lord Nityananda). Then the soul realizes one own constitutional position in relation with the two Lords and thus achieves the supreme perfection.'

Here it says that They reward us with the realization of their own forms. Can someone please explain this in more detail. I am not being able to understand this.

Sincerely,

Mihir.
