As stated in the Bhagavad-g\u012bt\u0101, only a person who is completely free from all reactions of sins can engage himself in the worship of the Lord. Brahm\u0101j\u012b was sinless, and therefore he faithfully discharged the advice of the Lord, \"tapa tapa,\" and the Lord, being satisfied with him, awarded him the desired result. Therefore only love and penance combined can please the Lord, and thus one is able to attain His complete mercy. He directs the sinless, and the sinless devotee attains the highest perfection of life.\n\nSrila Prabhupada's books, lectures, conversations and letters offer a comprehensive presentation of this essential subject as seen in the Vaniquotes '''[[Vaniquotes:Category:Reaction|Reaction]]''' category. An introduction from his books is given below in the following 8 quotes.\n<!-------- end introduction text and don't touch next three lines --------->\n----\n \n== Quotes from Srila Prabhupada's books ==\n\n<!----------------- edit quote boxes below this line ----------------->\n{{VaniQuotebox|A man engaged in devotional service rids himself of both good and bad reactions even in this life.

Therefore strive for yoga, which is the art of all work. Since time immemorial each living entity has accumulated the various reactions of his good and bad work. As such, he is continuously ignorant of his real constitutional position.

In the Brahma-sa\u1e41hit\u0101 it is said, karm\u0101\u1e47i nirdahati kintu ca bhakti-bh\u0101j\u0101m: (Bs. 5.54) for devotees the results of past pious and impious activities are nullified by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The words \u0101rabdh\u0101n eva mean \"as if achieved by past deeds,\" but in the case of P\u1e5bthu Mah\u0101r\u0101ja there was no question of reaction to past deeds, and thus the word eva is used here to indicate comparison to ordinary persons.

This is the expert management of p\u0101pa-pu\u1e47ya-pious and impious activities. An exalted devotee like Prahl\u0101da Mah\u0101r\u0101ja is j\u012bvan-mukta; he is liberated even in this very life in the material body. '''(\u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam 7.10.13)'''}}\n\n{{VaniQuotebox|If one performs activities for the satisfaction of the Supreme Personality, the yajna-purusa, his work does not produce reactions, whereas karmis, who act for themselves, are bound by the reactions of their work|If one performs activities for the satisfaction of the Supreme Personality, the yaj\u00f1a-puru\u1e63a, his work does not produce reactions, whereas karm\u012bs, who act for themselves, are bound by the reactions of their work. A liberated person, therefore, does not think about whatever he has ignorantly done in the past; instead, he acts in such a way that he will not produce another body by fruitive activities.

Pradh\u0101na is not the time element because in the time element there are actions and reactions, creation and annihilation.

Similarly, the modes of material nature may react upon the raylike living entities. It is the misfortune of the living entity, certainly not without reason, that the influence of the material energy acts on his pure consciousness and eternal bliss.
