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

Or, there is no conflict, as in the case of mantras and other things. Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa the Lord's desire here is to increase devotion of various kinds. It is like mantras. As one mantra may be used in many rituals, another mantra may be limited to two rituals, and another mantra used in one ritual only, so the Lord engages (His devotees to worship Him some in many ways and some in one way only). The word "ādi" (beginning with) in this sūtra means "time and action". As at any given time some trees may be sprouting leaves and flowers and other trees may be shedding their leaves, and as at any given time one person may be an infant, and another a teenager, so (at any given time the different devotees may serve the Lord in many different ways, each person acting differently according to the Lord's wish). The sūtra explains, "vāvirodhaḥ" (thus there is no conflict). Thus after liberation a person will attain the same relationship with the Lord that the person desired while worshiping Him before the person became liberated. In this way it is proved that qualities the Lord manifests to the liberated soul are not different from the qualities the soul meditated on before attaining liberation.
