If we want our actions to have no good and/or bad consequences and our karma to disappear, we must offer all the fruits of our actions, our existence, our life to God and serve Him with love and devotion. Therein lies the perfection of existence.

How to renew the bond with Krishna?

Love for Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, is the sublime and solid link that binds us to the Lord.

Let us seek the Lord, renew the bond that unites us to Him, love Him with infinite love, obey Him, do His divine will, unite our desires and interests with His, surrender to Him, and serve Him with love and devotion, we will then be sure to approach Him, see Him face to face, and live with Him for eternity.

He who is poor in devotion and Krishna consciousness will always be in want of material gains, sometimes suffering from the bites of poisonous creatures, sometimes suffering failure, sometimes adhering to the doctrine of monism [the atheistic theory that the separate being is in all things equal to God, and thus One with Him] to the extent of losing his identity or being devoured by a huge snake, illusion.

Only by renouncing all this and establishing oneself firmly in God consciousness, in the service of love and devotion offered to the Lord, will one know the true perfection of existence. Indeed, the practice of devotional service is a sure way to approach the Lord.

The Lord says on this subject: No one can give Me as much pleasure through philosophical speculation, yoga or austerity as through the practice of devotional service.

The Lord adds: Only through devotional service can one know Me as I am. And the being who through such devotion becomes fully conscious of My Person, can then enter My absolute kingdom. Only by serving Me with undivided love and devotion can one know Me as I am, standing before you and also, in truth, see Me. Thus, and only thus, can one perceive the mystery of My Person.

I give faith and refuge to anyone who surrenders to Me and vows to serve Me forever, for such is My nature.

The Lord is dear only to His devotees, and it is only through devotional service that He can be reached. Even if he is of the lowest condition, the devotee is automatically washed clean of all defilement. Devotional service is the only way to God, the Supreme Person. This is the only perfection.
