70-02 “You said that your job is maya but you must know that maya is illusion. As soon as there is absence of Krsna consciousness that is maya. But you are working just to help and push Krsna’s interest, therefore, it is not maya. In the Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu, Rupa Goswami Prabhu has recommended anything dovetailed in Krsna consciousness is real renouncement. The Mayavadis renouncement with an ambition of becoming one with the Supreme is called false renunciation. They renounce the world for a greater sense gratification. To maintain an ambition of becoming one with the Supreme is top rank sense gratification; whereas a person in all kinds of apparently material works, but ultimately the beneficiary is Krsna, is in a greater position of renunciation than the Mayavadis. So do not forget Krsna in any circumstance of life and Krsna will save you from all pitfalls of material existence.”
