No Reaction For Our Fried Seeds - Prabhupada 0776
661116 - Lecture BG 09.02-4 - New York
"One who is engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, then all his reactions of past sinful activities, gradually they become vanquished." There are different stages. Just like I have infected some, I mean, say, for cholera today. Immediately cholera does not take place. After two or three days the cholera appears. It takes some time. Just like if you sow a seed of a tree, immediately it does not become a tree and gives its fruits, delivers its fruit. It takes some time.
Therefore, imperceptibly, or knowingly or unknowingly, we are doing so many sinful activities. So they are in the seedling stage, then growing stage. Then, when we suffer, that is called prārabdha. Prārabdha means, "Now receive the result." So in this way we are creating, we are sowing, some seeds. That will take its reaction, either in this body or another body. It takes time to fructify. So . . . but if we act in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, then it is just like fried seed. Fried seed, if you sow in a land, it will not fructify, fried seed.
So this fried seed . . . our activities can be made a fried seed by the fire of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. So there will be no reaction.
