The sacred response is completely free of all limitations. It is experienced as pure bliss, pure intelligence, pure being. At this stage, God is universal and so is the person. This response marks the fully enlightened of every age.

--- *general?
or

2. What does 'age' mean in the above?

Here, universal means "omnipresent" (present everywhere, or all-present)

"omnipotent" means "all-powerful."

Here, age means "period":

the Stone Age,
the Bronze Age,
the Iron Age,
etc.

Those individuals, regardless of the period in which they live, who are fully enlightened.

Hope this helps Wink
