When a person is fully engaged in the transcendental loving service of the Lord, he is pleased in himself, and thus he is no longer engaged in sense gratiï¬cation or in fruitive activities. Otherwise, one must be engaged in sense gratiï¬cation, since one cannot live without engagement. Without Kṛṣṇa consciousness, one must be always seeking self-centered or extended selï¬sh activities. But a Kṛṣṇa conscious person can do everything for the satisfaction of Kṛṣṇa and thereby be perfectly detached from sense gratiï¬cation. One who has no such realization must mechanically try to escape material desires before being elevated to the top rung of the yoga ladder.
