| "You may do whatever occupational duty you are . . . but you have to satisfy Kṛṣṇa. Then your everything is perfect. And if you satisfy your senses, then you are going to hell. This is the position. Therefore it is . . . sva-karmaṇā tam abhyarcya. Even that karma is abominable, sa-doṣam api na tyājet (BG 18.48). You go on with your work. Even there is some fault, it doesn't matter, but you satisfy Kṛṣṇa. Then it is perfect. Just like Arjuna did. The fighting is not good business, but he satisfied Kṛṣṇa. Therefore by fighting, he became a great devotee—sva-karmaṇā. He did not leave his position as a kṣatriya, as a gṛhastha, but he . . . karisye vacanam tava (BG 18.73): "Yes. In spite of my not being inclined to fight, because You are asking, I'll do it." This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness."
