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

statements, "He who meditates on the Supreme Personality of Godhead," "He who
glorifies the Supreme Personality of Godhead", and “He who worships the
Supreme Personality of Godhead".
The meaning here is, "If even only one of the many kinds activities of
devotional service brings liberation, then how much more effectively will the
performance of many kinds of activities in devotional service bring one to
liberation?" This is a hint pointing to the nine activities of devotional service,
beginning with hearing and chanting about the Lord.
Here someone may object: Is it not so that the Śruti-śāstras teach that liberation
is attained by meditation alone? In the Bṛhad-āraṇyaka Upaniṣad (4.5.6 and 2.4.5)
it is said:
ātmā vā are draṣṭavyaḥ
"In a trance of meditation one should gaze on the Supreme Personality of
Godhead."
Therefore how can it be said that liberation is attained by other methods, such
as chanting the glories of the Lord?
To this I reply: Chanting the glories of the Lord and the other activities of
devotional service are woven together with meditation on the Lord. They are not
separate. Therefore when one chants the Lord's glories or performs other activities
of devotional service, meditation on the Lord is also present, and when one
meditates on the Lord, chanting the Lord's glories and the other activities of
devotional service are also present.
Here someone may object: It is not correct to say that one can attain liberation
simply by understanding the truth about the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Although they are perfect in knowledge of the Lord, Brahmā, Śiva, Indra, and the
other demigods still remain in the material world. Indeed it is even seen that
sometimes they oppose the Lord's desires.
If this is said, then the author of the sūtras gives the following reply.
Sūtra 33
yāvad-adhikāram avasthitir ādhikārikāṇām
yāvat—as long as; adhikāram—the post; avasthitiḥ—the situation;
ādhikārikāṇām—of they who hold the posts.
