QA 1 : Verse no. 11.55

Question 1 : How everyone can engage in Krishna consciousness or engage in the service of Lord Krishna ? What examples are given in this verse to explain the same ?

Answer 1 : "The Bhagavad-gītā is meant to show how one can understand his spiritual existence and his eternal relationship with the Supreme Spiritual Personality and to teach one how to go back home, back to Godhead. Now here is the verse which clearly explains the process by which one can attain success in his spiritual activity: devotional service. As far as work is concerned, one should transfer his energy entirely to K???a conscious activities. No work should be done by any man except in relationship to K???a. This called K???a-karma. One may be engaged in various activities, but one should not be attached to the result of his work, but the result should be done for Him. For example, one may be engaged in business, but to transform that activity into K???a consciousness, one has to do business for K???a. If K???a is the proprietor of the business, then K???a should enjoy the profit of the business. If a businessman is in possession of thousands and thousands of dollars, and if he has to offer all this to K???a, he can do it. This is work for K???a. Instead of constructing a big building for his sense gratification, he can construct a nice temple for K???a, and he can install the Deity of K???a and arrange for the Deity's service, as is outlined in the authorized books of devotional service. This is all K???a-karma. One should not be attached to the result of his work, but the result should be offered to K???a. One should also accept as prasādam, food, the remnants of offerings to K???a. If, however, one is not able to construct a temple for K???a, one can engage himself in cleansing the temple of K???a; that is also K???a-karma. One can cultivate a garden. Anyone who has land-in India, at least, any poor man has a certain amount of land-can utilize that for K???a by growing flowers to offer Him. He can sow tulasī plants because tulasī leaves are very important, and K???a has recommended this in Bhagavad-gītā. K???a desires that one offer Him either a leaf, or a flower, or a little water-and He is satisfied. This leaf especially refers to the tulasī So one can sow tulasī leaves and pour water on the plant. Thus, even the poorest man can engage in the service of K???a. These are some of the examples of how one can engage in working for K???a.
