TRANSLATION O Dhananjaya,
rid yourself of all fruitive activities by devotional service, and surrender
fully to that consciousness. Those who want to enjoy the fruits of their
work are misers.
PURPORT One who has
actually come to understand one's constitutional position as the eternal
servitor of the Lord gives up all engagements save working in Krsna consciousness.
As already explained, buddhi-yoga means transcendental loving service
to the Lord. Such devotional service is the right course of action for
the living entity. Only misers desire to enjoy the fruit of their own work
just to be further entangled in material bondage. Except for work in Krsna
consciousness, all activities are abominable because they continually bind
the worker to the cycle of birth and death. One should therefore never
desire to be the cause of work. Everything should be done in Krsna consciousness,
for the satisfaction of Krsna. Misers do not know how to utilize the assets
of riches which they acquire by good fortune or by hard labor. One should
spend all energies working in Krsna consciousness, and that will make one's
life successful. Like the misers, unfortunate persons do not employ their
human energy in the service of the Lord.
