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

The word "ca" (also) in this sūtra means that for the liberated souls there are two paths, one where the material body is cast off, and the other where contact with the material body is maintained. It is not possible to say that the nirapekṣa devotees follow the path that begins in light. Also, in the Varāha Purāṇa the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself says: nayāmi paramaṁ sthānaṁ arcir-ādi-gatiṁ vinā garuḍa-skandham āropya yatheccham anivāritaḥ "My devotees need not follow the path beginning in light. Riding on Garuḍa's shoulders, I personally take them to My supreme abode." In this way the truth has been explained. Pada 4 Invocation akaitave bhakti-save 'nurajyan svam eva yaḥ sevakasāt karoti tato 'ti-modaṁ muditaḥ sa devaḥ sadā cid-ānanda-tanur dhinotu May the Supreme Personality of Godhead, whose form is eternal and full of knowledge and bliss, and who, pleased with His devotees sincere devotion, gives Himself to them, fill us with transcendental happiness.
