QUALITIES OF A KARMATMAKA MIND, A MAHATMA & A KRISHNA CONSCIOUS PERSON

Dedicated to my spiritual master His Divine Grace Abhaya Charan Bhaktivedanta Swami 'Srila Prabhupada'

QUALITIES OF A KARMATMAKA MINDIf a person is engaged in any kind of karma, his mind is called karmätmaka, colored with fruitive activity. Be it sinful or pious, karma has its resultant actions. Such a person
- Does not inquire about the spiritual values of life
- Is defeated and subjected to miseries arising from ignorance
- Their mind is impure
- Consciousness is unclear
- Is absorbed in fruitive activity,
                             & due to these reasons he has to accept a material body.

QUALITIES OF A MAHATMA
The mahätmäs
- Are equipoised.
- Do not see any difference between one living entity and another.
- Are very peaceful
- Are fully engaged in devotional service.
- Are devoid of anger.
- Work for the benefit of everyone.
- Do not behave in any abominable way.

QUALITIES OF A KRISHNA CONSCIOUS PERSON
- Do not like to do anything that is not related to Krishna.
- Are not interested in mingling with people who r busy maintaining their bodies (eating, sleeping, mating,     defending.
- Are not attached to their homes, although they may be householders.
                * Nor are they attached to wives, children, friends or wealth.
                * At the same time, they are not indifferent to the execution of their duties.
- Are interested in collecting only enough money to keep the body and soul together.
