Offer all actions to Krishna and become liberated from karma's endless cycle of reactions and bondage.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: yat karoṣi yad aśnāsi yaj juhoṣi dadāsi yat yat tapasyasi kaunteya tat kuruṣva mad-arpaṇam [Bg 9.27] [O son of Kuntī, all that you do, all that you eat, all that you offer and give away, as well as all austerities that you may perform, should be done as an offering unto Me.] Now, here is a general prescription for all people for transcendental realization of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Yat karoṣi, whatever you do, it doesn't matter. So you do it for Kṛṣṇa. And how to do it we discussed in the last meeting, that you are doing something; simply change the consciousness that you're doing for Kṛṣṇa.
Nobody is inactive. It is not possible. You cannot be inactive even for a second. Because as living entity, our position is that we shall be always active.
Don't you see? As soon as I am out of this body, the body has no more activities. All activities stopped. Again, when I enter another body, my activities from the womb of my mother begins.
At the age of seven months only, the child becomes active. So spirit soul is always active. So all these activities should be dovetailed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, yat karoṣi, whatever you do. śubhāśubha-phalair evaṃ mokṣyase karma-bandhanaiḥ sannyāsa-yoga-yuktātmā vimukto mām upaiṣyasi [Bg 9.28] [In this way you will be freed from all reactions to good and evil deeds, and by this principle of renunciation you will be liberated and come to Me.] Now, here is a neutralization formula. Whatever we are doing, it has got some reaction.
If we do pious acts, there is good reaction. If we do impious action, there is reaction also. So every action has got its reaction. That we can experience in this material world, that if we eat more, the reaction will be that for two days there will be indigestion.
Similarly, this material world is so situated that every action has got its reaction. But Kṛṣṇa says that if you act in Kṛṣṇa consciousness for Kṛṣṇa, then there will be no reaction. Śubhāśubha-phalair evaṃ mokṣyase karma-bandhanaiḥ. In the Fourth Chapter we have discussed that what sort of work we shall do. That is prescribed. Yajñārthe karmaṇo 'nyatra loko 'yaṃ karma-bandhanaḥ [Bg 3.9]. [Work done as a sacrifice for Viṣṇu has to be performed, otherwise work binds one to this material world. Therefore, O son of Kuntī, perform your prescribed duties for His satisfaction, and in that way you will always remain unattached and free from bondage.] Karma-bandhanaḥ means you become bound up by the resultant reaction. But if you act for yajñārthe—yajñārthe means for Viṣṇu or Kṛṣṇa—then there will be no reaction, śubhāśubha. Śubha means good, and aśubha means bad. So reaction, either good reaction or bad reaction, you have to take this body. Suppose your...
As a result of your good action, you are going to take your birth in the Rockefeller family of America. That's all right. But so far your body is concerned, the body itself is miserable. Don't think that because you are getting your body in some rich family or in other higher planets, in the demigods planet, where you can have a long duration of life...
