TRANSLATION Abandoning
all attachment to the results of his activities, ever satisfied and independent,
he performs no fruitive action, although engaged in all kinds of undertakings.
PURPORT This freedom
from the bondage of actions is possible only in Krsna consciousness when
one is doing everything for Krsna. A Krsna conscious person acts out of
pure love for the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and therefore he has
no attraction for the results of the action. He is not even attached to
his personal maintenance, for everything is left to Krsna. Nor is he anxious
to secure things, nor to protect things already in his possession. He does
his duty to his best ability and leaves everything to Krsna. Such an unattached
person is always free from the resultant reactions of good and bad; it
is as though he were not doing anything. This is the sign of akarma,
or actions without fruitive reactions. Any other action, therefore, devoid
of Krsna consciousness, is binding upon the worker, and that is the real
aspect of vikarma, as explained hereinbefore.
