| So everything is there in Kṛṣṇa, akhila-rasāmṛta-sindhu, all rasas are there. Raso vai saḥ He is the reservoir of all rasas so this display of art and music that is also from Kṛṣṇa, therefore art and music should be employed in the service of the Lord, that is the perfection. Svakarmaṇā tam abhyarcya saṁsiddhiṁ labhate param, in the Bhagavad-gītā ([[Vanisource:BG 18.46|18.46]]) it is said that, “whatever your occupational duty may be it doesn’t matter if you try to satisfy Kṛṣṇa then that is perfection.” In the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam also it is stated,

| When there was a great meeting of the saintly persons in Naimiṣāraṇya, Sūta Gosvāmī explained to all the great learned brāhmaṇas present there, ataḥ pumbhir dvija-śreṣṭhā, dvija-śreṣṭhā—the best of the brāhmaṇas who are present there. They were informed that, ataḥ pumbhir dvija-śreṣṭhā varṇāśrama-vibhāgaśaḥ. Our Vedic civilisation is based on the varṇāśrama-dharma, brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśyas, śūdra. Cātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛṣṭaṁ ([[Vanisource:BG 4.13|BG 4.13]]), so everyone has got different profession, for livelihood, that doesn’t matter. But the Bhāgavata injunction is svanuṣṭhitasya dharmasya, you may be whatever you may be, you may be artist, you may be dancer, you may be engineer, you may be doctor, you may be professional man or businessman but whatever you may be it does not matter. There are divisions in the human society there are so many divisions of labour but, svanuṣṭhitasya dharmasya, dharma means natural characteristics.
| | So Kṛṣṇa the absolute person has got immense potencies, so these potencies are is also emanating from Kṛṣṇa. Just like in the ''Vedānta-sutra'' the first ''sutra'' is, ''janmādy asya yataḥ''—everything is emanating from Kṛṣṇa or the absolute person. So the arts, music, anything there are 12 kinds of ''rasas''—mellows. So there are ghastly mellows also, fearful mellows also and this melodic music that is also mellow. |

| If you have got artistic character, if you can dance, alright dance, if you can sing you sing. If you can fight you fight, that is all right but you take the svanuṣṭhitasya dharmasya saṁsiddhir, how your profession has been perfected. That perfection, the standard of perfection is saṁsiddhir hari-toṣaṇam. Try to satisfy Hari the Supreme Personality of Godhead by your art, culture, profession, characteristics. So that is Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement we do not stop anything, we stop only committing sinful activities—that we stop. Otherwise we do not stop anything—we simply stop, striya-sūnā-pāna-dyūta yatra pāpaś catur-vidhāḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 1.17.38|SB 1.17.38]]). The sinful activities we stop.
