TRANSLATION If you become
conscious of Me, you will pass over all the obstacles of conditional life
by My grace. If, however, you do not work in such consciousness but act
through false ego, not hearing Me, you will be lost.
PURPORT A person in
full Krsna consciousness is not unduly anxious to execute the duties of
his existence. The foolish cannot understand this great freedom from all
anxiety. For one who acts in Krsna consciousness, Lord Krsna becomes the
most intimate friend. He always looks after His friend's comfort, and He
gives Himself to His friend, who is so devotedly engaged working twenty-four
hours a day to please the Lord. Therefore, no one should be carried away
by the false ego of the bodily concept of life. One should not falsely
think himself independent of the laws of material nature or free to act.
He is already under strict material laws. But, as soon as he acts in Krsna
consciousness, he is liberated, free from the material perplexities. One
should note very carefully that one who is not active in Krsna consciousness
is losing himself in the material whirlpool, in the ocean of birth and
death. No conditioned soul actually knows what is to be done and what is
not to be done, but a person who acts in Krsna consciousness is free to
act because everything is prompted by Krsna from within and confirmed by
the spiritual master.
