FORKLARING: Man kan acceptere forsagelsens orden, når man er blevet renset ved at udføre de foreskrevne pligter, der er blevet givet for at rense materialistiske menneskers hjerter. Uden at være renset kan man ikke opnå fuldkommenhed ved forhastet at indtræde i den fjerde orden (sannyāsa). Ifølge de empiriske filosoffer bliver man med det samme lige så god som Nārāyaṇa blot ved at tage sannyāsa eller trække sig tilbage fra frugtstræbende aktiviteter. Men Herren Kṛṣṇa bifalder ikke dette princip. Uden renselse af hjertet er sannyāsa blot en forstyrrelse for samfundsordenen. Hvis man på den anden side engagerer sig i Herrens transcendentale tjeneste selv uden at opfylde sine foreskrevne pligter, vil ethvert fremskridt, man gør i den tjeneste, blive accepteret af Herren (buddhi-yoga). Svalpam apy asya dharmasya, trāyate mahato bhayāt (Bg. 2.40). Selv om man kun efterlever dette princip en smule, sætter det én i stand til at overvinde store vanskeligheder.
The renounced order of life can be accepted when one has been purified by the discharge of the prescribed form of duties which are laid down just to purify the hearts of materialistic men. Without purification, one cannot attain success by abruptly adopting the fourth order of life (sannyāsa). According to the empirical philosophers, simply by adopting sannyāsa, or retiring from fruitive activities, one at once becomes as good as Nārāyaṇa. But Lord Kṛṣṇa does not approve this principle. Without purification of heart, sannyāsa is simply a disturbance to the social order. On the other hand, if someone takes to the transcendental service of the Lord, even without discharging his prescribed duties, whatever he may be able to advance in the cause is accepted by the Lord (buddhi-yoga). Sv-alpam apy asya dharmasya trāyate mahato bhayāt. Even a slight performance of such a principle enables one to overcome great difficulties.
