गोविन्द भाष्य (श्रील बलदेव विद्याभूषण - अचिन्त्यभेदाभेद वेदान्त ब्रह्मसूत्र भाष्य सटीक)

transcendental knowledge. This is further explained in the following sūtra. Sūtra 16 upamardaṁ ca upamardam—destruction; ca—also. Destruction also. Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa in the Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad it is said: bhidyate hṛdaya-ganthiś chidyante sarva-saṁśayāḥ kṣīyante cāsya karmāṇi tasmin dṛṣṭe parāvare "The knot in the heart is pierced, and all misgivings are cut to pieces. The chain of fruitive actions is terminated when one sees* the Supreme Personality of Godhead." In Bhagavad-gītā (4.37) the Supreme Personality of Godhead explains: yathaidhāṁsi samiddho 'gnir bhasmasāt kurute 'rjuna jñānāgniḥ sarva-karmāṇi bhasmasāt kurute 'rjuna "As blazing fire turns firewood to ashes, O Arjuna, so does the fire of knowledge burn to ashes all reactions to material activities."* These verses show that transcendental knowledge destroys the reactions of past fruitive deeds. Because transcendental knowledge thus destroys all karmic reactions, whether partially experienced or waiting to be experienced in the future, a person situated in transcendental knowledge is not at fault if he renounced the fruitive actions of Vedic rituals. This is not very surprising.
