Likewise, the Lord descends from his kingdom into that of illusory energy and offers there personally to the conditioned souls the remedy for all their ills by giving them the Bhagavad-gita, [words of Krishna, Christ, God, the Supreme Person] where He teaches that the influence of illusory energy is very difficult to overcome, but that anyone abandons himself to Him is, by his supreme will, immediately released.

A surrender to the Lord is the surest way to free ourselves from the alienations of illusory energy

Logos 414

These are activities aimed at satisfying the senses and whose sole purpose is to please to the mind and to the senses, which are the cause of the chaining to matter. As long as the soul indulges in these self-serving actions, it will not cease to reincarnate from one species to another.

Krishna, God, the Supreme Person says:

When one considers satisfaction senses as the purpose of his life, he engages in material life going mad and indulges in all kinds of sinful activities. He does not know that it is because of his past misdeeds that he has already received a material body, which, despite its transitory nature, is the source of his suffering. In truth, the distinct being should never have put on this carnal envelope, but it was attributed to him for the satisfaction of his senses. Also, I do not believe it is appropriate for an intelligent man to become entangled again in material activities which would force him perpetually to put on bodies, life after life. As long as the living being does not inquire about the spiritual values of existence, he must know the defeat and the evils of ignorance.

Whether it is virtue or sin, karma carries its fruits, and if a person is involved in some form of karma, their mind is called “teinté” of the desire to enjoy the fruits of action.

As long as the mind remains unclean, the consciousness remains obscured, and as long as one follows the path of self-interested action, one must put on a material body. When the living being is under the influence of ignorance, he cannot comprehend the nature of the distinct soul [individual spiritual soul distinct from God] and that of the Supreme Soul, his mind is then under the yoke. self-interested action.
