Translation

The devotees of the Lord are released from all kinds of sins because they eat food which is offered first for sacrifice. Others, who prepare food for personal sense enjoyment, verily eat only sin.

Herrens hengivne bliver frigjort for enhver form for synd, fordi de spiser mad, der først er blevet givet som offer. Andre, der blot tilbereder mad for deres egen sansenydelses skyld, spiser med sikkerhed kun synd.

Purport

The devotees of the Supreme Lord, or the persons who are in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, are called santas, and they are always in love with the Lord as it is described in the Brahma-saṁhitā (5.38): premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti. The santas, being always in a compact of love with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Govinda (the giver of all pleasures), or Mukunda (the giver of liberation), or Kṛṣṇa (the all-attractive person), cannot accept anything without first offering it to the Supreme Person. Therefore, such devotees always perform yajñas in different modes of devotional service, such as śravaṇam, kīrtanam, smaraṇam, arcanam, etc., and these performances of yajñas keep them always aloof from all kinds of contamination of sinful association in the material world. Others, who prepare food for self or sense gratification, are not only thieves but also the eaters of all kinds of sins. How can a person be happy if he is both a thief and sinful? It is not possible. Therefore, in order for people to become happy in all respects, they must be taught to perform the easy process of saṅkīrtana-yajña, in full Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Otherwise, there can be no peace or happiness in the world.

FORKLARING: Den Højeste Herres hengivne eller personer, der er Kṛṣṇa-bevidste, kaldes santaer. Som der står i Brahma-saṁhitā (5.38), er de altid forelskede i Herren (premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena, santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti). Santaerne, der lever i en konstant kærlighedspagt med Guddommens Højeste Personlighed, Govinda (den, der er skænkeren af al nydelse), Mukunda (den, der giver befrielse) eller Kṛṣṇa (den alttiltrækkende person), kan ikke tage imod noget uden først at have tilbudt det til den Højeste Person. Sådanne hengivne udfører derfor yajñaer i form af forskellige slags hengiven tjeneste som śravaṇam, kīrtanam, smaraṇam, arcanam osv., og igennem disse yajñaer undgår de altid alle former for urene påvirkninger fra syndige forbindelser med den materielle verden. Andre, der tilbereder mad til sig selv eller til deres egen sansetilfredsstillelse, er ikke blot tyve, men spiser også alle former for synd. Hvordan kan et menneske være lykkeligt, hvis det både er en tyv og syndigt? Det kan det umuligt være. Hvis folk vil være lykkelige i alle henseender, må de derfor lære at følge den nemme saṅkīrtana- yajña-metode i fuld Kṛṣṇa-bevidsthed. Ellers kan der hverken være fred eller lykke i verden.
