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

places of misery wherein repeated birth and death take place. But one who attains My abode, O son of Kuntī, never takes birth again."* In the Bhagavad-gītā (8.15 and 16) Lord Kṛṣṇa also declares: Here someone may express the following fear: Lord Hari is all-powerful, the master of all, perhaps at some point in time He may throw the liberated soul out of the spiritual world. Or perhaps the liberated soul may at some time voluntarily leave the spiritual world. There is no need to fear in this way, for Lord Kṛṣṇa has explained in Bhagavad- gītā (7.17): priyo hi jñānino tv artham ahaṁ sa ca mama priyaḥ "of these, the wise one who is in full knowledge in union with Me through devotional service is the best. For I am very dear to him, and he is very dear to Me."* Lord Kṛṣṇa also declares in Śrīma-Bhāgavatam (9.4.68): sādhavo hṛdayaṁ mahyaṁ sādhūnāṁ hṛdayaṁ tv aham "The pure devotee is always in the core of My heart, and I am always in the heart of the pure devotee. My devotees do not know anything else but Me, and I do not know anyone else but them."* In these words the mutual love of the Lord and His devotee is described. In Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (9.4.65) Lord Kṛṣṇa declares: ye dārāgāra-putrāptān prāṇān vittam imaṁ param hitvā māṁ śaraṇaṁ yātāḥ kathaṁ tāṁs tyaktum utsahe "Since pure devotees give up their homes, wives, children, relatives, riches, and even their lives simply to serve Me, without any material improvement in this life or in the next, how can I give up such devotees at any time?"*
