So if you want actually your life successful, you must try to understand Krsna. That is Krsna consciousness movement. Then your life is successful. And to understand Krsna, no other method will help you. Krsna said, bhaktya mam abhijanati [Bg. 18.55]. Never said that "I can be understood by yogic process or by karma, by jnana." The modern politicians, they stress on karma because they want to work hard like hogs and dog. They think karma-yoga... So karma-yoga is good, but karmis are mudhas. Those who are simply working hard day and night for sense gratification, they are no better than the hogs and dogs. They are no good. But karma-yoga is different thing. Karma-yoga means one who has got attachment for producing something, working something. So Krsna said that "Yes, you can do, but," yat karosi yaj juhosi yad asnasi yat tapasyasi kurusva tad mad-ar... [Bg. 9.27], "the result you must give to Me." Anasritah karma-phalam karyam karma karoti yah, sa sannyasi [Bg. 6.1].
