More on Yukta vairagya

The process of yukta vairagya, or engaging everything in the Lord's
service is found in at least two places in Bhagavad-gita As It Is
(BGAII). We don't have to quote Rupa Goswami to understand or discover
this essential. It is right there in the BGAII.

Here are the two verses I refer to in BGAII:

BG 3.9

yajnarthat karmano 'nyatra
loko 'yam karma-bandhanah
tad-artham karma kaunteya
mukta-sangah samacara

Work
done as a sacrifice for Visnu has to be performed, otherwise work
causes bondage in this material world. Therefore, O son of Kunti,
perform your prescribed duties for His satisfaction, and in that way
you will always remain free from bondage.

In his purport, Srila
Prabhupada writes: "Since one has to work even for the simple
maintenance of the body, the prescribed duties for a particular social
position and quality are so made that that purpose can be fulfilled.
Yajna
means Lord Visnu, or sacrificial performances. All sacrificial
performances also are meant for the satisfaction of Lord Visnu. The
Vedas enjoin: "yajno vai visnuh." In other words, the same
purpose is served whether one performs prescribed yajnas or directly
serves Lord Visnu. Krsna consciousness is therefore performance of
yajna as it is prescribed in this verse. The varnasrama institution
also aims at satisfying Lord Visnu.
"Varnasramacaravata purusena parah puman/ visnur aradhyate." (Visnu Purana 3.8.8).
Therefore
one has to work for the satisfaction of Visnu. Any other work done in
this material world will be a cause of bondage, for both good and evil
work have their reactions, and any reaction binds the performer.
Therefore, one has to work in Krsna consciousness to satisfy Krsna (or
Visnu); and while performing such activities one is in a liberated
stage. This is the great art of doing work, and in the beginning this
process requires very expert guidance. One should therefore act very
diligently, under the expert guidance of a devotee of Lord Krsna, or
under the direct instruction of Lord Krsna Himself (under whom Arjuna
had the opportunity to work). Nothing should be performed for sense
gratification, but everything should be done for the satisfaction of
Krsna. This practice will not only save one from the reaction of work,
but also gradually elevate one to transcendental loving service of the
Lord, which alone can raise one to the kingdom of God."

BG 9.27
"yat karosi yad asnasi, yaj juhosi dadasi yat
yat tapasyasi kaunteya, tat kurusva mad-arpanam

"Whatever
you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer or give away, and whatever
austerities you perform -- do that, O son of Kunti, as an offering to
Me."

PURPORT
Thus, it is the duty of everyone to mould his
life in such a way that he will not forget Krsna in any circumstance.
Everyone has to work for maintenance of his body and soul together, and
Krsna recommends herein that one should work for Him. Everyone has to
eat something to live; therefore he should accept the remnants of
foodstuffs offered to Krsna. Any civilized man has to perform some
religious ritualistic ceremonies; therefore Krsna recommends, "Do it
for Me," and this is called arcana. Everyone has a tendency to give
something in charity; Krsna says, "Give it to Me," and this means that
all surplus money accumulated should be utilized in furthering the
Krsna consciousness movement. Nowadays people are very much inclined to
the meditational process, which is not practical in this age, but if
anyone practices meditating on Krsna twenty-four hours a day by
chanting the Hare Krsna mantra round his beads, he is surely the
greatest meditator and the greatest yogi as substantiated by the Sixth
Chapter of Bhagavad-gita."
