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

Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa The śruti-śāstra teaches that by taking shelter of the ānandamaya person, the individual spirit soul attains fearlessness, and by declining to take shelter of Him, the soul becomes plagued with fears. This confirmed by the Taittirīya Upaniṣad (2.7.2) in the passage beginning with the words yadā hy eva. On the other hand, contact with the material nature brings fear to the individual spirit souls. The material nature does not bring a condition of fearlessness to the living entities, and for this reason it is not possible that the pradhāna mode of material goodness is the ānandamaya person. Therefore, the ānandamaya person is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hari. The ānandamaya person is not the individual spirit soul or the material nature. Adhikaraṇa 7 The Nature of the Person Within

1. Viṣaya (Statement): The Chāndogya Upaniṣad explains: atha yā so 'ntar ādityo hiraṇmayaḥ puruṣo dṛśyate hiraṇya-śmaśrur hiraṇya-keśa aprāṇakhāt sarva eva suvarṇas tasya yathā kapyāsaṁ puṇḍarīkam evam ak\śiṇi tasyodeti nāma sa eṣa sarvebhyaḥ pāpmābhyaḥ udita udeti hā vai sarvebhyaḥ pāpmābhyo ya evaṁ veda tasya ṛk sāma ca gesnau tasmād udīgīthas tasmāt tv evodgataitasya hi gāthā sa eṣa ye cāmuṣmat parañco lokas teṣāṁ ceṣṭe deva-kāmānāṁ cety adhidaivatam. . . athādhyātmam atha ya eṣo 'ntar-ak\śiṇi puruṣo dṛśyate saiva ṛk tat sāma tad ukthaṁ tad yajus tad brahma tasyaitasya tad eva rūpaṁ yad amuṣya rūpam. yāv amuṣya gesnau tau gesnau yan nāma tan nāma. "Within the sun-globe is a golden person, with golden hair, a golden beard, and a body golden from His fingernails to all His limbs. His eyes are like lotus flowers. He is above all sin. One who understands Him also becomes situated above all sin. The Ṛg and Sāma Vedas sing His glories. From Him the highest spiritual planets, where the demigods desire to go, have become manifested. This is the golden person present among the demigods. . . Now I shall describe the person within the human mind and heart. Within the eyes a wonderful person may be seen. The Ṛg, Sāma, and Yajur Vedas glorify Him. He is identical with the golden person who resides in the sun."
2. Saṁśaya (doubt): "Is this an individual spirit soul who by great piety and spiritual knowledge has attained this exalted position, or is this the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who appears as the all-pervading Supersoul?"
3. Pūrvapakṣa (the opposing argument): Because this person has a form and various humanlike features, He must be a pious spirit soul. By his piety and
