Vaniquotes - the complete essence of Vedic knowledge

Simply you have to change the consciousness, that somebody is working for his sense gratification and somebody is working for Krsna's satisfaction. This is the difference. But after all, you have to work for satisfaction of somebody else

Lectures

Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Simply you have to change the consciousness, that somebody is working for his sense gratification and somebody is working for Kṛṣṇa's satisfaction. This is the difference. But after all, you have to work for satisfaction of somebody else. That is a fact. Now all of you, or all of us, we are working. Nobody can say that "I am not working" or "I am independent.".

If you want to enjoy along with Kṛṣṇa, then you are free. Just like in this temple, what is this difference between these temple activities and other activities? Here the center is Kṛṣṇa. We are working for Kṛṣṇa, we are eating for Kṛṣṇa, we are walking for Kṛṣṇa, we are talking for Kṛṣṇa. You are also talking, you are also walking, you are also working. The same thing going on. But the difference is, here everyone is working for Kṛṣṇa. That is the difference. Therefore it is not in the material world. So you can mold your life in such a way that you work for Kṛṣṇa:

yat karoṣi yaj juhoṣi yad aśnāsi
kuruṣva tat mad-arpaṇam
(BG 9.27)

Then your life is perfect. Simply you have to change the consciousness, that somebody is working for his sense gratification and somebody is working for Kṛṣṇa's satisfaction. This is the difference. But after all, you have to work for satisfaction of somebody else. That is a fact. Now all of you, or all of us, we are working. Nobody can say that "I am not working" or "I am independent." Everyone is working. But they are working for their sense gratification. When we go to the office, apparently I work for the master. But I don't work for the master; I work for the money. And why I want money? For my sense gratification.
