TRANSLATION

 

The devotees of the Lord are released from all kinds of sins because

they eat food which is offered first for sacrifice. Others, who

prepare food for personal sense enjoyment, verily eat only sin.

 

PURPORT

 

The devotees of the Supreme Lord, or the persons who are in Krsna con­

sciousness, are called santas, and they are always in love with the

Lord as it is described in the Brahma-samhita: pre manjana-cchurita-

bhakti vilocanena santah sadaiva hrdayesu vilokayanti. The santas,

being always in a compact of love with the Supreme Personality of

Godhead, Govinda (the giver of all pleasures), or Mukunda (the giver

of liberation), or Krsna (the all-attractive person), cannot accept

anything without first offering it to the Supreme Person. Therefore,

such devotees always perform yajnas in different modes of devotional

service, such as sravanam, kirtanam, smaranam, arcanam, etc., and

these performances of yajnas keep them always aloof from all kinds of

contamination of sinful association in the material world. Others,

who prepare food for self or sense gratification, are not only

thieves, but are also the eaters of all kinds of sins. How can a

person be happy if he is both a thief and sinful? It is not possible.

Therefore, in order for people to become happy in all respects, they

must be taught to per­form the easy process of sankirtana-yajna, in

full Krsna consciousness. Otherwise, there can be no peace or

happiness in the world.
