Everything is done, everything is done, so far our duties are concerned—there is a cause. I do this because I want this. So there is a cause and effect. But this sort of busy-ness, this sort of occupation which leads you to the devotional service of the Lord, it has no cause. Ahaituki. It has no cause. Why it has no cause? Just like a lover, or, say, lover, beloved, set aside. Just like mother. A mother loves her child. There is no cause. She does not know, "Why I am loving?" Automatically. Automatically, she loves.
Similarly, we have got our relationship with the Supreme Consciousness. We are consciousness. That is accepted. Now, there is supreme consciousness also. Just let us have some estimation what is that supreme consciousness. Now, supreme consciousness . . . consciousness is described in the Bhagavad-gītā, yena sarvam idaṁ tatam (BG 2.17).
The consciousness is distributed throughout your whole body. That we can make an experiment. But this consciousness is not, I mean to . . . spread over all the cosmic manifestation. That is also a fact. My consciousness is spread over my body. Your consciousness is spread over your body. I do not know what you are thinking now, and you do not know what I am thinking. Therefore my consciousness, individual; your consciousness, individual. But there is the Supersoul, who knows what you are thinking and what I am thinking, what he is thinking, everyone thinking. That is superconsciousness.
So superconsciousness and individual consciousness. So our relationship, the superconsciousness and the individual consciousness, is eternal. Eternal. They cannot be, I mean to say, separated. Therefore my position is . . . just like there is superior one and the inferior one. Inferior one is subordinate to the superior one, and inferior one is to act according to the superior one.
Just like it is taught here that Kṛṣṇa is the superconsciousness; He's trying to convince Arjuna that "You act according to My direction, because you are individual consciousness, subordinate to Me, and I am superconsciousness." And in the last phase of Bhagavad-gītā, you'll see that He summarized, Lord Kṛṣṇa summarized, sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja (BG 18.66):
"You just surrender unto Me." This is the sum and substance of everything. So therefore the conclusion is that the individual consciousness should surrender to the Supreme Consciousness and act accordingly. That is the position of standing on the conscious plane. That is the position of conscious plane. And Bhagavad . . . Śrīmad-Bhāgavata also says that sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmaḥ (SB 1.2.6).
The activities, the occupation, the business, that which leads us to that consciousness, that consciousness, that "I am subordinate to the Supreme Consciousness," and let me act according to the Supreme Consciousness, without any cause, ahaituki, without . . .
"Why I shall act?" There is no such question. It is automatic. Automatic. Just like a little son and the mother. The little son is automatically subordinate to the mother. Whatever the mother says, the child acts. The mother (child) is completely dependent. Similarly, as soon as we make our consciousness completely engaged in the service of the Supreme Consciousness, that is our liberated position. That is our liberated position. And in that liberated position, whatever we do, there is no reaction. That is transcendental position.
So what Śrī Kṛṣṇa says here? That karma-jam. Karma-jam that, "Every, your any work which you are performing, that is creating some reaction for future enjoyment or suffering. But if you act intelligently, in collaboration with the Supreme Consciousness, then you'll be free from this bondage of birth, death, old age and diseases and, in your next life . . . this is a training period. This life will be a training period, and as soon as you are fully trained up, then the next result will be that after giving up this body you come to My kingdom." Tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti kaunteya (BG 4.9). So this is the whole process.
So that sort of business which will lead us to the position when we shall be dovetailed, we shall be dovetailed with the Supreme Consciousness . . . just like this morning I was giving an example: Just like one motorcar is passing on in sixty miles' speed, and a cyclist also going on. If the cyclist catches the motorcar, he can also proceed with the same speed, sixty miles' speed, without even pedaling. Similarly, if we can join our consciousness with the Supreme Consciousness, then our whole life becomes successful. That is the point.
