TRANSLATION And that
action performed in ignorance and delusion without consideration of future
bondage or consequences, which inflicts injury and is impractical, is said
to be action in the mode of ignorance.
PURPORT One has to give
account of one's actions to the state or to the agents of the Supreme Lord
called the Yamadutas. Irresponsible work is distraction because it destroys
the regulative principles of scriptural injunction. It is often based on
violence and is distressing to other living entities. Such irresponsible
work is carried out in the light of one's personal experience. This is
called illusion. And all such illusory work is a product of the mode of
ignorance.
