An example: When a person living in Vārānasī glorified the qualities of Hari repeatedly in the assembly of sannyāsīs, his hairs stood on end and tears moistened his cheeks.
Purport
For example, sometimes in Vārāṇasī, a holy city for impersonalist scholars, there may be seen a sannyāsī crying from hearing the glories of the Lord. Impersonalists also sometimes chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra and dance, but their aim is not to serve the Lord. It is to become one with the Lord and merge into His existence.

Commentary
Living in Vārānasī indicates the person was aspiring for liberation.
