Guest guest Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Hare Krishna, Can someone clarify what is a self-illuminated duty that Srila Prabhupada refers to in purport to BG 3.17. Following is the exact quote: Due to his being Krsna conscious, all impiety within is instantly cleansed, an effect of many, many thousands of yajna performances. By such clearing of consciousness, one becomes fully confident of his eternal position in relationship with the Supreme. **His duty thus becomes self-illuminated** by the grace of the Lord, and therefore he no longer has any obligations to the Vedic injunctions. (emphasis mine) >>> Ref.
