TRANSLATION
The Blessed
Lord said: He whose mind is fixed on My personal form, always engaged in
worshiping Me with great and transcendental faith, is considered by Me
to be most perfect.
PURPORT
In answer to
Arjuna's question, Krsna clearly says that he who concentrates upon His
personal form and who worships Him with faith and devotion is to be considered
most perfect in yoga. For one in such Krsna consciousness there
are no material activities because everything is done by Krsna. A pure
devotee is constantly engaged. Sometimes he chants, sometimes he hears
or reads books about Krsna, or sometimes he cooks prasadam or goes
to the marketplace to purchase something for Krsna, or sometimes he washes
the temple or the dishes--whatever he does, he does not let a single moment
pass without devoting his activities to Krsna. Such action is in full samadhi.
