TRANSLATION The yogis,
abandoning attachment, act with body, mind, intelligence, and even with
the senses, only for the purpose of purification.
PURPORT By acting in
Krsna consciousness for the satisfaction of the senses of Krsna, any action,
whether of the body, mind, intelligence or even of the senses, is purified
of material contamination. There are no material reactions resulting from
the activities of a Krsna conscious person. Therefore, purified activities,
which are generally called sad-acara, can be easily performed by
acting in Krsna consciousness. Sri Rupa Gosvami in his Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu
describes this as follows:
iha yasya harer dasye
"A person acting
in Krsna consciousness (or, in other words, in the service of Krsna) with
his body, mind, intelligence and words is a liberated person even within
the material world, although he may be engaged in many so-called material
activities." He has no false ego, nor does he believe that he is this material
body, nor that he possesses the body. He knows that he is not this body
and that this body does not belong to him. He himself belongs to Krsna,
and the body too belongs to Krsna. When he applies everything produced
of the body, mind, intelligence, words, life, wealth, etc.--whatever he
may have within his possession--to Krsna's service, he is at once dovetailed
with Krsna. He is one with Krsna and is devoid of the false ego that leads
one to believe that he is the body, etc. This is the perfect stage of Krsna
consciousness.
