By executing your particular type of religion, the result must be there. The result is, 'How I shall go back to home, back to Godhead'. If that desire is not developed, it is simply waste of time.

Either you be Hindu or brāhmaṇa or this or that, it doesn't matter. Śrama eva hi kevalam (SB 1.2.8). Simply wasting time."
