Srimad-Bhagavatam Lectures

If you perform one yajña, saṅkīrtana-yajña, then you become clear from everyone's debt. Gato mukundam śaraṇaṁ śaraṇyam. Then we are freed from all debts. So in this way we have to execute Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement very carefully, and the simple process is chant Hare Kṛṣṇa.

Yajñārthe karmaṇo 'nyatra (BG 3.9). Therefore the business should be, if we walk at all, we shall walk for Kṛṣṇa. Then if some ant is killed—not knowingly; unknowingly—then we are untouched by these sinful activities. Otherwise, we are immediately noted down, "Here is a man has killed one, he has . . ." The nature's law is so minute. Every minute, the account is stepped(?). But if you remain in the business of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, then there is excuse. Otherwise, everyone is becoming obliged. If I take from you one cent, I have to pay you with four cent, with interest, compound interest. This is the law. We are . . . Just like taking money from others. Unless we spend it for Kṛṣṇa, then we shall be obliged to return again.

So,

devarṣi bhūtāpta-nṛṇāṁ pitṛṇāṁ
nāyam ṛṣīṇāṁ kiñkara rājan
sarvātmanā ye śaraṇaṁ śaraṇyaṁ
gato mukundaṁ parihṛtya kartam
(SB 11.5.41)

We have got so many obligation: devarṣi, to the demigods, to the saintly great sages, ṛṣis. Because ṛṣis are giving us . . . Just like Vyāsadeva has given us this literature. So we are obliged to him; we are indebted to him. We are indebted to the demigods. The sun is giving sunshine, the moon is giving at night shine, and the cloud, Indra, is giving us water. So we are all indebted. Devarṣi-bhūta . . . Therefore there are so many different types of yajñas mentioned in the Vedic literature. But if you perform one yajña, saṅkīrtana-yajña, then you become clear from everyone's debt. Gato mukundam śaraṇaṁ śaraṇyam. Then we are freed from all debts. So in this way we have to execute Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement very carefully, and the simple process is chant Hare Kṛṣṇa.
