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

Lord's will the way of devotion is divided into two paths". How is that? The sūtra
explains: "ubhayāvirodhāt" (for in these two there is no contradiction). This
means that the descriptions of these two paths do not exclude each other. This is
the meaning. The beginningless and eternally perfect way of devotion flows like a
heavenly Ganges river from the Lord's personal associates to the newest beginners
in devotional service. Lord Hari wishes that all the spirit souls in the material
universes associate with His devotees and voluntarily follow the path of devotion
to Him. By following that path they can attain Him. To attain this end one should
seek the mercy of a kind madhyama-adhikārī devotee. The madhyama-adhikārī
devotee is described in the following words:
īśvare tad-adhīneṣu
bāliśeṣu dviṣatsu ca
prema-maitrī-kṛpāpekṣā
yaḥ karoti sa madhyamaḥ
"A person who loves the Supreme Lord, befriends the devotees, is merciful to
the people in general, and ignores the demons, is a madhyama-adhikārī devotee of
the Lord."
In this way it is clearly shown that Lord Hari is not cruel, unfair, or unkind.
Sūtra 30
gater arthavattvam ubhayathānyathā hi virodhaḥ
gateḥ—of the goal; arthavattvam—attainment; ubhayathā—on both; anyathā—
otherwise; hi—indeed; virodhaḥ—contradiction.
In both ways the goal is attained, for otherwise there would certainly be a
contradiction.
Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa
Both paths lead to the goal. By the path of meditating on the Lord's sweetness
and also by the path of meditating on the Lord's glory and opulence, one may
attain the goal. The word "artha" here means "the goal of life". The attainment of
the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the highest goal of life. That is the
meaning. To say this is not so is to contradict the scriptural texts that describe
these two paths. The word "hi" (certainly) in this sūtra is evidence that both paths
