Devotees who always lick the honey from the lotus feet of Lord Kṛṣṇa do not care at all for material activities, which are performed under the three modes of material nature and which bring only misery. Indeed, devotees never give up the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa to return to material activities. Others, however, who are addicted to Vedic rituals because they have neglected the service of the Lord’s lotus feet and are enchanted by lusty desires, sometimes perform acts of atonement. Nevertheless, being incompletely purified, they return to sinful activities again and again.
Srimad Bhagavata Purana
श्रीमद्भागवतमहापुराणम्
मूल श्लोकः
कृष्णाङ्घ्रिपद्ममधुलिण् न पुनर्विसृष्ट- मायागुणेषु रमते वृजिनावहेषु । अन्यस्तु कामहत आत्मरजः प्रमार्ष्टु- मीहेत कर्म यत एव रजः पुनः स्यात्
kṛṣṇāṅghripadmamadhuliṇ na punarvisṛṣṭa- māyāguṇeṣu ramate vṛjināvaheṣu | anyastu kāmahata ātmarajaḥ pramārṣṭu- mīheta karma yata eva rajaḥ punaḥ syāt
