51_Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 5, Verse 11 to 14

<p><br></p><p><br></p><p> 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&nbsp;<em>sadacara</em>, can be easily performed by acting in Krsna consciousness. Sri Rupa Gosvami in his&nbsp;<em>Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu&nbsp;</em>describes this as follows:</p><p><em>iha yasya harer dasye karmana manasa gira</em></p><p><em>nikhilasv apy avasthasu jivanmuktah sa ucyate</em></p><p>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.</p><p> The difference between a person in Krsna consciousness and a person in bodily consciousness is that the former is attached to Krsna, whereas the latter is attached to the results of his activities. The person who is attached to Krsna and works for Him only is certainly a liberated person, and he is not anxious for fruitive rewards. In the&nbsp; <em>Bhagavatam,&nbsp;</em> the cause of anxiety over the result of an activity is explained as being due to one's functioning in the conception of duality, that is, without knowledge
