All actions are perfectly dissipated when performed in the

spirit of sacrifice by the detached, liberated, and enlightened soul.

(The actions of the worker on the path of selfless action do not

lead to the consequence of apurva as postulated by the karma-mimamsaka

section.)

 

Commentary: According to their ethical but atheistic ideology, the

karma-mimamsaka philosophers (mundane rationalists) claim that

pious actions produce an unseen, subtle potency known as apurva,

which must fructivy at the appropiate time after death. Their

conception that this fruit can later be shared by others is meant to

show the eternality of karma, or action, but it neglects the presence of

the Supreme Autocrat. So the statement of Sri Krsna, samagram

praviliyate, "All actions are dissipated", should not be misinterpreted

to mean that the actions of liberated souls will cause some remote

worldly consequence, or apurva. Rather, the Lord clearly points out

that the pure actions offered to Him by the pure, selfless karma-yogi

do not cause any subsequent reaction to be either enjoyed or suffered

by others in this mundane plane.

TRANSLATION

The work of a man who is unattached to the modes of material nature and who is fully situated in transcendental knowledge merges entirely into transcendence.

 

PURPORT

 

Becoming fully Krsna conscious, one is freed from all dualities and thus is free from the contaminations of the material modes. He can become liberated because he knows his constitutional position in relationship with Krsna; and thus his mind cannot be drawn from Krsna consciousness. Consequently, whatever he does, he does for Krsna, who is the primeval Visnu. Therefore, all his works are technically sacrifices because sacrifice involves satisfying the Supreme Person, Krsna. The resultant reactions to all such work certainly merge into transcendence, and one does not suffer material effects.
