| <p>This is the statement by God, that "Out of millions and millions of persons, one tries to become perfect. And out of many millions of perfect persons, one may understand God." So God understanding is not so easy, but if we want to understand, God will help us. That is the point.</p>

Yajñārthe karma anyatra loko 'yaṁ karma-bandhanam. This is the statement, that if you work if you work for yajña... Yajña means Viṣṇu. Then it is all right. Otherwise you become under the laws of karma, good or bad. You have to suffer or enjoy. There is no question of enjoyment; there is suffering. Therefore one should be taught not to accept the result of karma, but do it for Kṛṣṇa, yajñārthe. Then you are free.</p>

| | Prabhupāda: ''Karmaṇy evādhikāras te mā phaleṣu kadācana'' ([[Vanisource:BG 2.47 (1972)|BG 2.47]]). This is the . . . Action and reaction, there are two things. But under both headings, action and reaction means you become bound up. ''Yajñārthe karma anyatra loko 'yaṁ karma-bandhanam'' ([[Vanisource:BG 3.9 (1972)|BG 3.9]]). This is the statement, that if you work for ''yajña—yajña'' means Viṣṇu—then it is all right. Otherwise you become under the laws of ''karma'', good or bad. You have to suffer or enjoy. There is no question of enjoyment; there is suffering. Therefore one should be taught not to accept the result of ''karma'', but do it for Kṛṣṇa, ''yajñārthe''. Then you are free. |

When you take as ''prasādam'', then you are not bound up. But if you enjoy it as your fruitive result, then you have to suffer or enjoy. That is not good. |
