All work performed in Krishna's service is spiritual; surrender to Krishna's will transcends material and spiritual distinctions.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: But one cannot give up the family life, and it was an opportunity to give up family life. So it is blessing in disguise. Abhirāma: I'm sometimes thinking that if my activities were more purified... Prabhupāda: Yes. Always be engaged in Kṛṣṇa's service. Abhirāma: But trouble is, it seems that in my..., engaged in management work, sometimes my spiritual activities suffer. That is unfortunate. Prabhupāda: No, no.
Management is also spiritual activity. Why do you take like that? It is Kṛṣṇa's establishment. Abhirāma: But my wife never sees that. Unless I am just chanting japa and offering Deity worship, otherwise it's all nonsense. Prabhupāda: Well, after all is a woman.
[chuckles] She has no much intelligence. But here, to manage Kṛṣṇa's affairs is also Kṛṣṇa's work. Don't take it otherwise. We must be engaged in Kṛṣṇa's business.
That's all. That is our duty. Fighting is very good business? Killing?
But why Arjuna "Yes"? Kariṣye vacanam [Bg 18.73]. That is Kṛṣṇa conscious. And Kṛṣṇa said, bhakto 'si priyo 'si me [Bg 4.3]: "You are My devotee, very dear friend." What he was doing?
Fighting. The fighting is good business, to kill others? But for Kṛṣṇa's sake.
Prabhupāda: He personally denied, "No, no, no. I don't want this kingdom." Personally he had no desire. But when he saw that Kṛṣṇa wants it, "All right. I shall do it." And this is Kṛṣṇa conscious.
