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

body; sambandhāt—from the contact; jyotiḥ—eye; ādi—beginning with; vat—like. Bondage and liberation come from contact with the material body, like the eye and other things. Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa Even though they are parts and parcels of the Supreme, the individual spirit souls, because beginningless ignorance, and also because of contact with material bodies, are subject to material bondage and liberation. The incarnations of the Lord, such as Lord Matsya, however, are not subject to such things. This is the description of the Śruti-śāstra. In the Śruti-śāstra it is also said that the incarnations of the Lord do not have material bodies, but are directly the Lord Himself. That is the great difference between the individual spirit souls and the incarnations of the Lord. The word "anujñā" here means "permission". It is by the Lord's permission that the individual spirit souls can perform pious and impious deeds, as the Kauṣīitaki Upaniṣad (3.8) explains: eṣa eva sādhu karma kārayati "The Lord engages the living entity in pious activities so he may be elevated."* The word "parihāra" means "liberation". This is described in the Śruti-śāstra: tam eva viditvāti mṛtyum eti By understanding the Supreme Personality of Godhead one is able to cross beyond this world of death." Next, speaking the words "jyotir-ādi-vat" (like the eye), the author of the sūtras gives an example to explain this. The eyes of the living entities are like small portions of the sun. However, the eyes depend on the sun for the power of sight, and if the sun does not give permission, in the form of the sunlight, the eyes cannot see. In this way the eyes are dependent on the sun. The sunlight on the sun-planet, however, is identical with the sun itself, and thus it makes no sense to say they are dependent on the sun. The difference between the individual spirit souls and the incarnations of the Lord is like that, the incarnations being like the sunlight and the souls being like the eyes.
