It is not enough to achieve the liberation of being a spiritualist, to know his spiritual identity, to know the soul distinct from the body, but we still have to act accordingly, the only way to break the chains which keep us prisoners of matter.
Action performed in Krishna consciousness is not like material, self-interested action. It makes it possible to advance towards pure knowledge. The simple fact of renouncing material acts, without however engaging in the consciousness of God, is not really enough to rid the heart of all its stains, and as long as it retains some impurity, it is impossible not to indulge in self-interested action. Only action done in the consciousness of God immediately frees the soul from the chains of karma and prevents it from being again caught up in material activities. Hence the superiority of the action accomplished in Krishna consciousness over simple renunciation, which always involves a risk of falling and, therefore, remains incomplete.
One appreciates the perfect renunciation of matter, of materialism, only with the awareness that everything belongs to God, and that no one can claim to own anything. Whoever recognizes Krishna, God, the Supreme and Sovereign Person as the Supreme Possessor, he shows total renunciation.
Everything belongs to Krishna, God, everything must be used in his service. This action performed in Krishna consciousness is perfect.
Liberation is the return of the embodied spiritual being, once he has freed himself from all material conception of existence, to his spiritual condition original natural. Human life offers itself precisely as an opportunity to develop the qualities necessary to obtain this spiritual freedom.
As long as we remain in the material universe, it is our duty to comply with the Lord's instructions, and if his grace allows us to be free from the clutches of matter, then we can in the liberated state, continue to serve him with love and devotion, in his absolute and eternal kingdom.
Our material condition does not allow us to see the Lord, or even to know our true identity, because we are deprived of spiritual vision. But that we break our ties with this material condition, that we return to our original spiritual form, and then we can see our own selves, as well as the Lord, face to face.
As soon as he acts in the consciousness of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, the incarnate being is freed from the agonizing intricacies of matter. The being who acts in the consciousness of Krishna, or consciousness of God, knows the true freedom of the act, for him, the act is suggested from within him by Krishna, who strengthens him in service. of God, and lead him to take pleasure in serving Him with love and devotion.
The Lord said: “Know this, he who neither abhors [hate, hate] nor covet them fruits of his deeds knows an immutable renunciation. Freed from duality, he easily loosens the bonds that hold him back to matter”.
