Everyone is after success in religion, economic development, sense gratification and ultimately merging into the existence of Brahman. These are the general practices of the common man, but according to the strict principles of the  Vedas , the highest attainment is to rise to the platform of  śravaṇam ,  kīrtanam —chanting and hearing about the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is confirmed in  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  (1.1.2):
dharmaḥ projjhita-kaitavo 'tra paramo nirmatsarāṇāṁ satāṁ vedyaṁ vāstavam atra vastu śivadaṁ tāpa-trayonmūlanam śrīmad-bhāgavate mahāmuni-kṛte kiṁ vā parair īśvaraḥ sadyo hrdy avarudhyate 'tra krtibhiḥ śuśrūṣubhis tat-kṣaṇāt
“Completely rejecting all religious activities which are materially motivated, this  Bhāgavata Purāṇa  propounds the highest truth, which is understandable by those devotees who are pure in heart. The highest truth is reality distinguished from illusion for the welfare of all. Such truth uproots the threefold miseries. This beautiful  Bhāgavatam , compiled by the great sage Śrī Vyāsadeva, is sufficient in itself for God realization. As soon as one attentively and submissively hears the message of  Bhāgavatam , he becomes attached to the Supreme Lord.”
According to Śrīdhara Svāmī, the material conception of success ( mokṣa  or liberation) is desired by those in material existence. Not being situated in material existence, the devotees have no desire for liberation.
A devotee is always liberated in all stages of life because he is always engaged in the nine items of devotional service ( śravaṇam ,  kīrtanam , etc.). Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s philosophy holds that devotional service to Kṛṣṇa always exists in everyone’s heart. It simply has to be awakened by the process of  śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ .  Śravaṇādi śuddha-citte karaye udaya  (Cc. Madhya 22.107). When a person is actually engaged in devotional service, his eternal relationship with the Lord, the servant-master relationship, is awakened.
