Bg 2.64
But a person free from all
attachment and aversion and able to control his senses through regulative
principles of freedom can obtain the complete mercy of the Lord.
Attachment and Detachment
One may externally control the
senses by some artificial process, but unless the senses are engaged in the
transcendental service of the Lord, there is every chance of a fall. Although
the person in full Krishna consciousness may apparently be on the sensual
plane, because of his being Krishna conscious he has no attachment to sensual
activities. The Krishna conscious person is concerned only with the
satisfaction of Krishna, and nothing else. Therefore he is transcendental to
all attachment and detachment. If Krishna wants, the devotee can do anything
which is ordinarily undesirable; and if Krishna does not want, he shall not do
that which he would have ordinarily done for his own satisfaction.
Conclusion
Therefore to
act or not to act is within his control because he acts only under the
direction of Krishna. This consciousness is the causeless mercy of the Lord,
which the devotee can achieve in spite of his being attached to the sensual
platform.
