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

In the same way the liberated souls continue to worship the Lord. In this way it is
proved that the great souls worship the Lord both before and after they attain
liberation.

Transcendental Knowledge Destroys Past Sins
Introduction by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa
The way to attain transcendental knowledge having already been considered,
now will be considered the results of that knowledge. In the Chāndogya Upaniṣad
(4.14.3) it is said:
yathā puṣkara-palāśa āpo na śliṣyante evam eva vidi pāpaṁ karma na śliṣyate
"As water does not touch a lotus leaf, so sin does not touch a person situated in
transcendental knowledge."
In the Chāndogya Upaniṣad (5.24.3) it is said:
tad yathaiṣīkā-tūlam agnau protaṁ pradūyetaivaṁ hāsya sarve pāpmānaḥ
pradūyante
"As a blade if iṣīkā grass is at once consumed by a fire, so are consumed the sins
of a person situated in transcendental knowledge."
Saṁśaya (doubt): Must one experience the results of past and present sinful
deeds to become free from the karmic results, or are such results destroyed and
non-existent for a person situated in transcendental knowledge?
Pūrvapakṣa (the opponent speaks): One cannot become free from karmic
reactions in any way other than experiencing their results. This is described in the
following words of the Smṛti-śāstra:
nābhuktaṁ kṣīyate karma
kalpa-koṭi-śatair api
