Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

We have to work for somebody else. You cannot work independently. Either for your family or for your master or for your state or for your community or for your . . . everyone. Nobody is independent. But that independence is mine. If one works independently for Kṛṣṇa, that is perfection. It is very simple. It is not difficult. Simply we have to change our consciousness.

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.

Then ultimately I am working for my sense gratification—neither for the master nor for the money. So this is our aim: for my sense gratification. The same sense, when it will be applied to Kṛṣṇa, that I am working for Kṛṣṇa, that is our liberated stage. Svarūpena avasthiti. This is our real constitutional position. We have to work for somebody else. You cannot work independently. Either for your family or for your master or for your state or for your community or for your . . . everyone. Nobody is independent. But that independence is mine. If one works independently for Kṛṣṇa, that is perfection. It is very simple. It is not difficult. Simply we have to change our consciousness.
