:)) You are contradicting yourself.
If no a priori judgment is made, then you can define the term
"liberated soul", observe Prabhupada's qualities, and then compare the
two. If Prabhupada fits the definition, he is a liberated soul.
Simple.
I have two questions:
1. What is your definition of a liberated soul, and
2. By what qualities do you define Prabhupada as a liberated soul?
Let's assume that I make two kinds of faulty definitions of a
liberated soul, definition a) and definition b).
a) a liberated soul is a person who constantly thinks and speaks of
God.
b) a liberated soul is the one who is in perfect alignment with its
dharma.
By first definition, most Jehova's witnesses and Jesuite students are
liberated souls (oh yes, Prabhupada as well).
By the second definition, my cat is a liberated soul, because he is in
perfect alignment with his dharma.
