“Even if one is liberated in this life, he becomes addicted to material desires because of offenses to the Supreme Personality of Godhead.”
A similar quotation from one of the  Purāṇas  also appears in the  Viṣṇu-bhakti-candrodaya :

PURPORT
Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura has explained in his  Anubhāṣya  that the word  nirbandha  indicates that Rāmacandra Purī had a steady desire to criticize others. Impersonalist Māyāvādīs who have no relationship with Kṛṣṇa, who cannot take to devotional service and who simply engage in material arguments to understand Brahman regard devotional service to Kṛṣṇa as  karma-kāṇḍa , or fruitive activities.
