-----------------------------------------------------
The rules in the scriptures are for our gradual elevation starting with the Varnashram Dharma and moving ahead to Karma Yog and so on. Those who are illumined realize that the self is not material in nature, but divine, and hence imperishable. Self-illumined souls learn to unite their consciousness with God and experience his infinite bliss within them. The karm (duties) prescribed for the materially conditioned souls are no longer applicable to such illumined souls because they have already attained the goal (Yog) of all such karm.

The goal of the Vedas is to help the soul attain Yog (unite with God). Once the soul becomes God-realized, the rules of the Vedas, which helped the soul to reach that destination, now no longer apply. The Vedas are there to help unite the self with the Supreme Self. When God-realization takes place, the task of the Vedas is over. Such an enlightened soul is no longer obliged to perform the Vedic duties.
