Category:Good Result
Theme Analysis
Śrīla Prabhupāda strictly refutes the materialistic philosophy of karma-mīmāṁsā, which proposes that God is merely a servant to human action and is obligated to award good results for virtuous work. According to this flawed logic, one does not need to worship or care for Kṛṣṇa, but simply perform good deeds to enjoy the rewards. However, Śrīla Prabhupāda clarifies that any work performed for personal account—whether good or bad—forces the living entity to take another material body to experience the corresponding reactions. True peace and freedom are achieved only when a person understands that Kṛṣṇa is the supreme enjoyer and acts entirely for His satisfaction. A karma-yogī or pure devotee performs their duties sincerely, remaining completely unattached to the outcome. By engaging in the saṅkīrtana movement and chanting the holy names, a sincere seeker transcends the dualities of karma and automatically achieves the highest, eternal good result.
- The Fallacy of Material Virtue: The mundane philosophy that virtuous work obliges God to provide good results ignores the supreme independence and ultimate proprietorship of the Personality of Godhead.
- The Bondage of Karma: Acting for one's own account always generates a reaction. Even pious, good work binds the soul to the material world by forcing it to accept a body to enjoy the good results.
- The Secret of Work: A pure devotee acts precisely like an ordinary worker, but with a crucial difference: all the good results created are offered exclusively for Kṛṣṇa's satisfaction, not personal benefit.
- Detachment from Outcomes: True sincerity in devotional service means endeavoring to the best of one's ability for the Lord without becoming disturbed if the desired good result does not immediately manifest.
- The Ultimate Result: The congregational chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra encompasses all the good results of charity, austerity, and penance, providing the highest spiritual perfection.

F

- Friendly talking cannot give any good result, simply waste of time. But when there is talking between disciple and the spiritual master, that has got meaning
- Fruitive activities are the engagements of one's reactions from past good or bad deeds. When one is awake in Krsna consciousness, he need no longer endeavor for good results in his activities. BG 1972 purports
I

- If one maintains within his heart the desire to enjoy the result of good work, or, being embarrassed by the material world, the desire to get out of material entanglement, one will never be able to attain the transcendental mellows of devotional service
- If we act virtuously, then we shall get good result. So what is the use of worshiping God? Let us work virtuously
- If you do on your account, there will be reaction. Either you do good work or bad work, there will be reaction. If you do good work, you'll get good result, and if you do bad work, you will get bad result. That's all right
- In the activities there is no difference (between karmi and sannyasi), but the one is accepting the result for his personal benefit, and one is creating good result but not for his personal benefit, but Krsna's service
- In the name of scientist, they are exploiting this innocent person, taking their money and spoiling it without any good result
- In the same way, if the recipient of spiritual knowledge and the deliverer of spiritual knowledge are sincere and bona fide, there will be good results
- It is confirmed in the Fifth Chapter (5.29) that when one understands that Krsna is the only enjoyer of all the good results of sacrifice and penance, then only can one have real peace. BG 1972 purports
- It is nice you are taking advantage of every opportunity for spreading Krishna Consciousness by speaking on radio, attending engagements. That is the method recommended by my Guru Maharaj--you are practically demonstrating this fact with good results
K
- Karma means these people, these worldly people are working hard, they are called karmis, because they are expecting some good result for sense enjoyment. That is called karma

- Krsna says in BG (18.66): "Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear." Unless one pleases the SP of G according to His demand, no good result will come from any of his actions
M
- Maharaja Nanda and other elder members argued that without satisfying the predominating god one cannot derive any good result simply by material activities. This is actually the fact
- Many persons are simply surprised that this Sankirtana Movement of Lord Caitanya has been so nicely accepted all over the world with such good results. It is actually revolutionary
- Material activities that are promised by so many politicians, sociologists, philanthropists, etc., do not produce very good results because the politicians and philanthropists have no transcendental vision. BG 1972 purports
T
- The demigods cannot give any good results to the person who has not executed the prescribed duties; therefore demigods are dependent on the execution of duties and are not absolute in awarding good results to anyone. So why should one care about them?
- The difference between karma-yogi and karmi means he has to suffer the result, good or bad, and karma-yogi has nothing to suffer because he's doing everything for Krsna
- The karma-mimamsa also, that, they say that, "After all, if we act virtuously, then we shall get good result. So what is the use of worshiping God? Let us work virtuously." This is their view
- The Siddhas do not care for fruitive activities, such as performing sacrifices and achieving the good results
- The word samanuvrata indicates that it is the duty of a wife to adopt the special circumstances in which the husband is situated. Of course, if the husband is as great as Kardama Muni, then a very good result accrues from following him
- Their (the Karma-mimamsa philosophers) opinion is that even if there is a God who gives man the result of his fruitive activities, there is no need to worship Him because unless man works He cannot bestow any good result
- There must be the sanction of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Nanda Maharaja therefore advocated that in order to get good results for agricultural activities, they must satisfy Indra, the superintending deity of the rain supply

- Those who are righteous generally execute fruitive activities in order to derive some good result for sense gratification
- Try to give this message to everyone, and the people will appreciate our Movement because we have got very solid ground of philosophy, and, more than that, our philosophy can be applied to our life and give good results
W
- We are trying to spread His (Lord Caitanya's) message throughout the whole world, and by the grace of His Lordship we are getting good response
- We want to see good result. Even there is no good result, we don't mind. We must be sincere to Krsna that "We have done our best." That's all. Without cheating Krsna
- Whatever Krsna likes, He'll do. You cannot oblige Him, that "You have to do it." No. That is karma-mimamsa, that "If good work gives good result, so why should we care for Krsna? We shall do the good work." Ordinary people, they think like that
- When there is large-scale congregational chanting of the Hare Krsna maha-mantra, we keep our temples open for everyone to join, and by the grace of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu this policy has given good results
- When you hear the chanting, that is transcendental meditation.This process is recommended in all scriptures of Vedic literature, and it is followed by Caitanya & His disciplic succession for the last five hundred years, & people are achieving good result
- Without devotional service, other methods for self-realization and spiritual life are useless. Other methods cannot produce good results at any time, and therefore they are compared to the nipples on the neck of a goat
