Bhagavad Gita -Sri Madhvacharya

(Bhashya and Tatparya Nirnaya)

Chapter 2 Sankhya Yoga Therefore, the word should, verily, be understood as becoming indifferent by means of wisdom. Not that the men of wisdom are averse to listening the glory etc. of the Lord. The sages immersed in the enjoyment of the Self, even though mentally controlled, they do advance though devotion which without any desires, Sri Hari being so attracted by creatures due to His attributes, thus having been in Bhagavata Puraana. Even so are the religious performances of Shuka and others. Not that there is no satisfaction for them. For them surely is the great happiness. “For those who have renounced, meditation on your lotus feet, and listening your glory and that of your devotees, brings about the satisfaction, which would not be available even to a fully realized soul. What then to be spoken about those dwellers of heaven who return having fallen from divine aerial vehicles”, from such other statements also. For them (the men of Wisdom) the result of उपासना and other acts, the same is possible. (Even in liberation) there is tartmya (gradation). If there be no gradation, "the wise would not respect My Grace which is the cause of liberation". "No one will crave similarity with Me". "Even if similarity is granted they would not be accepted".
