TRANSLATION A self-realized
man has no purpose to fulfill in the discharge of his prescribed duties,
nor has he any reason not to perform such work. Nor has he any need to
depend on any other living being.
PURPORT A self-realized
man is no longer obliged to perform any prescribed duty, save and except
activities in Krsna consciousness. Krsna consciousness is not inactivity
either, as will be explained in the following verses. A Krsna conscious
man does not take shelter of any person--man or demigod. Whatever he does
in Krsna consciousness is sufficient in the discharge of his obligation.
