Here a position is stated that the Vaishnava side accepts halfway, and no further; and it is worth explaining precisely where it stops. It is said: for one who has attained, there is no kartavya, nothing subject to performance. This position is itself found in the Gita too, in almost the same words: "for one who delights in the self, is satisfied by the self, and content with it alone, there is no task that must be performed" (3.17).
The agreement, then, is complete. But the Gita sets beside this another statement, and here the paths part. A verse later it says: "and yet I, for whom there is nothing unattained in all three worlds and nothing to be acquired, — still remain engaged in action" (3.22). And it explains: were He not to act, people would follow His example, and the worlds would perish (3.23–24).
Here lies the difference, and it is not one of abstraction, but of what the one who has attained actually does. By this verse, one who has attained has nothing to do, because there is nothing to do it for: desires are absent. By the Gita, one who has attained has nothing to do for himself — and precisely for this reason he is free to act for others; and the highest action begins exactly where the need for it ends.
The Bhagavatam expresses this in a description worth quoting. Of those already liberated — the atmarama, "those who delight in themselves" — it is said that even they "render causeless devotion" to urukrama, the wide-strider (1.7.10). That is, even where every necessity has fallen away, service remains; and since it remains without necessity, it was never a consequence of necessity in the first place.
