PURPORT
Vaisnavas strictly follow the directions of the sastras regarding how one can be liberated simply by a slight awakening of pure chanting of the holy name.
Mayavadis cannot tolerate the statements of the sastras about how easily liberation can be achieved, for as stated in Bhagavad-gita (12.5), kleso ’dhikataras tesam avyaktasakta-cetasam: impersonalists must work hard for many, many births, and only then will they perhaps be liberated.
Vaisnavas know that simply by chanting the holy name of the Lord offenselessly, one achieves liberation as a by-product.
Thus there is no need to endeavor separately for liberation.
Srila Bilvamangala Thakura has said, muktih svayam mukulitanjali sevate ’sman: liberation stands at one’s door, ready to render any kind of service, if one is a pure devotee with unflinching faith and reverence.
This the Mayavadis cannot tolerate.
