What we do as an offering to Lord Sri Krishna without any conditions or

interuption and according to sadhu, sastra and guru is devotional service

according to sastra. Activities which are mean only for gratification of

the senses are karma. Now working at a job can also be spiritualized if one

utilizes the fruits of that labor in some way to serve Lord Sri Krishna then

the work can be made Krishna conscious.

 

I hope that this finds you in good health.

 

Your ever well wisher,

 

Jayapataka Swami
