TRANSLATION
The work
of a man who is unattached to the modes of material nature and who is fully
situated in transcendental knowledge merges entirely into transcendence.
PURPORT
Becoming fully
Krsna conscious, one is freed from all dualities and thus is free from
the contaminations of the material modes. He can become liberated because
he knows his constitutional position in relationship with Krsna; and thus
his mind cannot be drawn from Krsna consciousness. Consequently, whatever
he does, he does for Krsna, who is the primeval Visnu. Therefore, all his
works are technically sacrifices because sacrifice involves satisfying
the Supreme Person, Krsna. The resultant reactions to all such work certainly
merge into transcendence, and one does not suffer material effects.
