TRANSLATION One can obtain
the results of renunciation simply by self-control and by becoming unattached
to material things and disregarding material enjoyments. That is the highest
perfectional stage of renunciation.
PURPORT Real renunciation
means that one should always think himself part and parcel of the Supreme
Lord. Therefore he has no right to enjoy the results of his work. Since
he is part and parcel of the Supreme Lord, the results of his work must
be enjoyed by the Supreme Lord. This is actually Krsna consciousness. The
person acting in Krsna consciousness is really a sannyasi, one in
the renounced order of life. By such a mentality, one is satisfied because
he is actually acting for the Supreme. Thus he is not attached to anything
material; he becomes accustomed to not taking pleasure in anything beyond
the transcendental happiness derived from the service of the Lord. A sannyasi
is supposed to be free from the reactions of his past activities, but a
person who is in Krsna consciousness automatically attains this perfection
without even accepting the so-called order of renunciation. This state
of mind is called yogarudha, or the perfectional stage of yoga,
as confirmed in the Third Chapter: yas tv atma-ratir eva syat. One
who is satisfied in himself has no fear of any kind of reaction from his
activity.
