TRANSLATION One who can
control his senses by practicing the regulated principles of freedom can
obtain the complete mercy of the Lord and thus become free from all attachment
and aversion.
PURPORT It is already
explained that one may externally control the senses by some artificial
process, but unless the senses are engaged in the transcendental service
of the Lord, there is every chance of a fall. Although the person in full
Krsna consciousness may apparently be on the sensual plane, because of
his being Krsna conscious, he has no attachment to sensual activities.
The Krsna conscious person is concerned only with the satisfaction of Krsna,
and nothing else. Therefore he is transcendental to all attachment. If
Krsna wants, the devotee can do anything which is ordinarily undesirable;
and if Krsna does not want, he shall not do that which he would have ordinarily
done for his own satisfaction. Therefore to act or not to act is within
his control because he acts only under the direction of Krsna. This consciousness
is the causeless mercy of the Lord, which the devotee can achieve in spite
of his being attached to the sensual platform.
