For one who
is not renounced, the threefold fruits of action--desirable, undesirable
and mixed--accrue after death. But those who are in the renounced order
of life have no such results to suffer or enjoy.
PURPORT
A person in
Krsna consciousness or in the mode of goodness does not hate anyone or
anything which troubles his body. He does work in the proper place and
at the proper time without fearing the troublesome effects of his duty.
Such a person situated in transcendence should be understood to be most
intelligent and beyond all doubts in his activities.
