TRANSLATION A person
is said to be have attained to yoga when, having renounced all material
desires, he neither acts for sense gratification nor engages in fruitive
activities.
PURPORT When a person
is fully engaged in the transcendental loving service of the Lord, he is
pleased in himself, and thus he is no longer engaged in sense gratification
or in fruitive activities. Otherwise, one must be engaged in sense gratification,
since one cannot live without engagement. Without Krsna consciousness,
one must be always seeking self-centered or extended selfish activities.
But a Krsna conscious person can do everything for the satisfaction of
Krsna and thereby be perfectly detached from sense gratification. One who
has no such realization must mechanically try to escape material desires
before being elevated to the top rung of the yoga ladder.
