therefore clearly said in this verse:  koṭi-mukta-madhye ‘durlabha’ eka kṛṣṇa-bhak-ta . Those who search after the knowledge of impersonal Brahman or localized Paramātmā are certainly accepted as liberated, but due to their imperfect knowledge they are described in  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  as  vimukta-māninaḥ . Since their knowledge is imperfect, their conception of liberation is imperfect. Perfect knowledge is possible when one knows the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is supported in  Bhagavad-gītā  (5.29):
bhoktāraṁ yajña-tapasāṁ sarva-loka-maheśvaram suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānāṁ jñātvā māṁ śāntim rcchati
“The sages, knowing Me as the ultimate purpose of all sacrifices and austerities, the Supreme Lord of all planets and demigods and the benefactor and well-wisher of all living entities, attain peace from the pangs of material miseries.”
Research is going on for the  karmīs ,  jñānīs  and  yogīs , but until the search is complete, no one can attain peace. Therefore  Bhagavad-gītā  says,  jñātvā māṁ śāntim ṛcchati : one can actually attain peace when he knows Kṛṣṇa. This is described in the next verse.

“Because a devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa is desireless, he is peaceful. Fruitive workers desire material enjoyment, jñānīs desire liberation, and yogīs desire material opulence; therefore they are all lusty and cannot be peaceful.
