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

Upaniṣad (1.10) it is said:
cintayaṁś cetasā kṛṣṇaṁ
mukto bhavati saṁsṛteḥ
"By meditating on Lord Kṛṣṇa a person becomes liberated from the cycle of
repeated birth and death."
In the Gopāla-tāpanī Upaniṣad (1.12) it is also said
pañca-padaṁ pañcāṅgaṁ japan dyāvābhūmī sūryācandramasau sāgnī

whose potencies are manifested as the heavenly planets, the earth, the sun, the
moon, and fire."
In Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (12.3.51) it is said:
kīrtanād eva kṛṣṇasya
mukta-saṅgaḥ paraṁ vrajet
"Simply by chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra one can become free from
material bondage and be promoted to the transcendental kingdom."*
It is also said:
eko 'pi kṛṣṇāya kṛtaḥ pramāṇo
daśāśvamedhāvabhṛthair na tulyaḥ
daśāśvamedhī punar eti janma
kṛṣṇa-pramāṇī na punar-bhavāya
"Ten aśvamedhāvabhṛthas are not equal to once bowing down before Lord
Kṛṣṇa. One who performs ten aśvamedhas again takes birth. One who bows before
Lord Kṛṣṇa never takes birth again."
These passages do not in any way oppose the statement of Gopāla-tāpanī
Upaniṣad 1.6. If this were so then each scriptural statement affirming that
liberation is attained by performing a certain kind of devotional service would
have to be rejected. Therefore the statement of Gopāla-tāpanī Upaniṣad (1.6), "He
becomes liberated" must be considered to be connected individually to each of the
