nikhilāsv apy avasthāsu
jīvan-muktaḥ sa ucyate


"A person acting in Kṛṣṇa consciousness with his body, mind, intelligence and words is a liberated person even within the material world, although he may be engaged in many so-called material activities."

Hmm..... this is highly arguable. There are thousands of so called 'vaishnavas' roaming the streets. All of them are liberated n there is no difference between them n say those liberated souls in Goloka? I don't agree with this!! And to be honest, the right way to put it shouldn't be "for a "Vaishnava"... btu for a "true devotee". Vaishnava or from any other sampradaya - Shaiva or Shakta. This is Sanatana dharma.
