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

Jaimini Muni thinks it is with what is given by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, for there are references and other proofs. Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa The liberated soul is glorious with a host of virtues and advantages, beginning with sinlessness and the attainment of every desire, which are all gifts from the Supreme Personality of Godhead. How is this known? The sūtra explains, “upanyāsādibhyaḥ" (for there are references and other proofs). The reference here is to the demigod Brahmā's description (in Chāndogya Upaniṣad 8.7.1) of the individual spirit soul's virtues. The word "ādi" (beginning with) refers to the Chāndogya Upaniṣad's description of the liberated soul's activities, such as his eating and enjoying pastimes. In this way the liberated soul is by nature filled with glories and virtues. That is the opinion of Jaimini Muni. In the Smṛti-śāstra this is also described in the passage beginning with the words, "yathā na hrīyate jyotsnā". Sūtra 6 citi tan-mātreṇa tad-ātmakatvād ity auḍulomiḥ citi—in consciousness; tan-mātreṇa—of that only; tad-ātmakatvāt—because of the nature; iti—thus; auḍulomiḥ—Auḍulomi. It is consciousness alone, for that is its nature. That is the opinion of Auḍulomi Muni. Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa When its material ignorance is burned away by transcendental knowledge and it attains its spiritual form and meets the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the individual spirit soul is manifested as pure consciousness alone. Why is that? The sūtra explains, "tad-ātmakatvād" (for that is its nature). In the Bṛhad-āraṇyaka Upaniṣad (4.5.13), in the second story of Maitreyī, it is said: sa yathā saindhava-ghano 'nantaro 'bāhyaḥ kṛtsno rasa-ghana evaṁ vā are ayam ātmānantaro 'bāhyaḥ kṛtsnaḥ prajñāna-ghana eva
