TRANSLATION
Only the purified soul can attain the perfection of associating with the Personality of Godhead in complete bliss and satisfaction in his constitutional state, and whoever is able to renovate such devotional perfection is never again attracted by this material world, and he never returns.
PURPORT
We should specially note in this verse the description of  bhāgavatīṁ gati . To become merged in the rays of the Param Brahman, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as it is desired by the  brahmavādī  impersonalist, is not  bhāgavatī  perfection. The  Bhāgavatas  never accept merging in the impersonal rays of the Lord, but always aspire after personal association with the Supreme Lord in one of the Vaikuṇṭha spiritual planets in the spiritual sky. The whole of the spiritual sky, of which the total number of the material skies is an insignificant part only, is full of unlimited numbers of Vaikuṇṭha planets, and the destination of the devotee (the  Bhāgavata ) is to enter into one of the Vaikuṇṭha planets in each of which the Personality of Godhead, in His unlimited personal expansions, enjoys Himself in the association of unlimited numbers of pure devotee associates. The conditioned souls in the material world, after gaining emancipation by devotional service, get promoted in these planets. But the number of ever-liberated souls is far, far greater than the conditioned souls in the material world, and the ever-liberated souls in the Vaikuṇṭha planets never care to visit this miserable material world.
The impersonalists who aspire to merge in the impersonal  brahmajyoti  effulgence of the Supreme Lord, but have no conception of loving devotional service to Him in His personal form in the spiritual manifestation,
