Translation

The work of a man who is unattached to the modes of material nature and who is fully situated in transcendental knowledge merges entirely into transcendence.

Les actes de celui qui agit avec la connaissance absolue et s’est affranchi de l’influence des trois guṇas se fondent dans la transcendance.

Purport

Becoming fully Kṛṣṇa conscious, one is freed from all dualities and thus is free from the contaminations of the material modes. He can become liberated because he knows his constitutional position in relationship with Kṛṣṇa, and thus his mind cannot be drawn from Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Consequently, whatever he does, he does for Kṛṣṇa, who is the primeval Viṣṇu. Therefore, all his works are technically sacrifices because sacrifice aims at satisfying the Supreme Person, Viṣṇu, Kṛṣṇa. The resultant reactions to all such work certainly merge into transcendence, and one does not suffer material effects.

Celui qui devient pleinement conscient de Kṛṣṇa s’affranchit de l’emprise des dualités et de la souillure des modes d’influence de la nature. Il peut obtenir la libération car il connaît sa position constitutive en rapport avec Dieu. Ses pensées ne s’écartent donc plus un instant de la conscience de Kṛṣṇa. Il offre tout ce qu’il fait à Kṛṣṇa, le Viṣṇu originel. Chacun de ses actes devient un sacrifice puisqu’il a pour seul objet la satisfaction de la Personne Suprême, Viṣṇu, Kṛṣṇa. Les suites de ses actes se fondent dans la transcendance, il ne subit donc pas d’effets matériels.
