68. భగవ􏰀ావ్􏰁􏰂హము (Bhagavadvyamohamu)
It is a state of attachment to the person who is in the same path. The typical case is that of Vipranarayana. Here attachment to a co-traveler takes over and the company of the co-travelers is cherished more than the company of God and the goal is forgotten. While the attachment to the person (guru) in the path is bound to be there but to get into infatuation is wrong. Nobody can take the place of God. This generally happens in spiritual life where the trainer or guru or a person who is guiding becomes an alternative to God Himself.
Parabhakti is capable of making you again stuck up there. You feel very happy and we will not go beyond that. Without gurukrupa the chances are that the aspirant would get into a state of deep absorbency in the bhagavatvyamoha and parabhakti and gets stagnated similar to state of avadhoot hood in the bhakti samrajyam. You will not go beyond that. The journey has to happen between the 3rd and 4th knots. Otherwise you will remain there. You can always be singing
