Yes but without our effort, Krishna will also not give results. To a considerable extent, results *are* up to our own effort and desire. Prabhupada confirmed it by repeatedly quoting: Na hi suptasya simhasya pravishanti mukhe mriga. If the lion is sleeping, he cannot expect the deer to walk into his mouth. Even the mighty lion has to make an effort and chase them. Without effort no result. > > For non Vaishnava communities benchmark is results. For Vaishnava > communities the benchmark is efforts. Yes we should not be attached to results. We should perform our duty without attachment but the Vedas also say phalena pariciyate. You judge by the results. If a project or procedure simply brings forth negative or painful results, it is time to make an effort to change the procedure. ys Anantarupa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
