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

Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa
The first "ca" means "indeed". In the beginning, the enlightened soul and the
unenlightened soul depart from the material body in the4 sa,e way. However,
when they reach the nāḍīs (subtle pathways emanating from the heart), their paths
diverge. The enlightened soul passes through one of the hundred nāḍīs, but the
enlightened soul passes through a different nāḍī. This is described in Chāndogya
Upaniṣad (8.6.6):
śataṁ caikā ca hṛdayasya nāḍyas tāsāṁ mūrdhānaṁ abhiniḥsṛtaikā. tayordhvam
āyann amṛtatvam eti viśvag anyā utkramaṇe bhavanti.
"101 nāḍīs lead away from the heart. One passes through the head and leads to
immortality. They others lead to a variety of destinations."
This is also described in Bṛhad-āraṇyaka Upaniṣad (4.4.2). The soul endowed
with transcendental knowledge departs from the material body through the
passage passing through the top of the head. The unenlightened souls depart
through the other passages. The scriptural statement (Bṛhad-āraṇyaka Upaniṣad
4.4.7) explaining that the enlightened soul enjoys spiritual life even in this world
means that such a soul no longer produces any karmic reactions even though his
connection with the material body is not yet burned away.
Sūtra 8
tad āpīteḥ saṁsāra-vyapadeśāt
tat—that; āpīteḥ—until; saṁsāra—of the world of birth and death;
vyapadeśāt—because of the teaching.
That is so, for it is taught that until then there is the world of birth and death.

This describes the immortality of an enlightened soul who is free from sin even
though his connection to a material body is not yet burned away. How is that? The
sūtra explains, "āpīteḥ" (until then). Until he attains the direct association of the
Supreme Personality of Godhead, the individual spirit soul still has a relationship
with a material body, and thus he remains in the world of repeated birth and
