Sure, we must act for the satisfaction of the Lord. This action takes the name of devotional service, and it is free from all karma. To act in the consciousness of God is to make sacrifices.

Human beings have to sacrifice their time and money for the satisfaction of Krishna, the Supreme and Sovereign Being.

Adopt spiritual vegetarianism.

Spiritual vegetarianism consists of eating plant foods and dairy products after having first offered them to the Lord. If we adopt this mode of sacrifice which consists in purifying our food by offering it to God before eating it, the Supreme Lord will protect us from all karma resulting from the destruction of plants. Otherwise, according to the law of karma, law of action-reaction or law of cause and effect, we will be personally held responsible for such an act, and will have to suffer the consequences.

Righteous beings, servants of God, who apply naturally the directives of the Supreme Lord are freed from all faults, because they eat only consecrated food, offered in sacrifice to God.

But those who prepare food (meat, fish, egg) for their sole pleasure of meaning, verily eat only on sin.

Human beings are provided with cereals, fruits, vegetables, and milk, by the grace of the Supreme Eternal. To thus nourish ourselves with sanctified food, protects us from karma, promotes our spiritual progress, and allows us to live in holiness. We can sanctify our meal by offering it as a sacrifice to God, in these terms:

Allow me Lord to present my respectful homage to you. Allow me Lord to offer you this meal, or this humble offering.

Hare Krishna, hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, hare hare / Hare Rama, hare Rama, Rama Rama, hare hare

This song in Sanskrit means: Ô Lord, O source of all happiness, please make me your beloved servant.

Who serves Krishna with love and devotion lives in direct relation to Him. Also, its position is it in all certainty, spiritual, from the beginning of its practice. Indeed, the holy being no longer lives on the material plane, for he lives in Krishna.
