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

Adhikaraṇa 8
The Supreme Personality of Godhead Is the Father
Introduction by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa
Here the author of the sūtras begins his description of other qualities of the the
Supreme Lord, such as the Lord's being the father of all.
Viṣaya (the subject to be discussed): In the Śruti-śāstra it is said:
mātā pitā bhrātā nivāsaḥ śaraṇaṁ suhṛd gatir nārāyaṇaḥ
"Lord Nārāyaṇa is our mother, father, brother, home, shelter, friend, and goal."
In the Jitānta-stotra, Chapter One, it is said:
pitā mātā suhṛd bandhur
bhrātā putras tvam eva me
vidyā dhanaṁ ca kāmaś ca
nānyat kiñcit tvaya vinā
"O Supreme Lord, You are my father, mother, friend, kinsman, brother, son,
knowledge, wealth, and desire. I have nothing else but You."
In the Jitānta-stotra, in the middle and end, it is said:
janma-prabhṛti dāso 'smi
śiṣyo 'smi tanayo 'smi te
tvaṁ ca svāmī gurur mātā
pitā ca mama mādhava
"O Lord Mādhava, from the time of my birth I have been Your servant, disciple,
and son. You are my master, guru, mother, and father."
Saṁśaya (doubt): Should the devotees meditate on the Lord as their father, son,
friend, and master, or should they not meditate in that way?
