Verse Text
tat phalaṁ ca, tatraiva—
evaṁ kriyā-yoga-pathaiḥ pumān vaidika-tāntrikaiḥ |
arcann ubhyataḥ siddhiṁ matto vindaty abhīpsitām ||12||
Translation
The results of vaidhi-bhakti are stated: By worshiping Me through the various methods prescribed in the Vedas and tantras, one will gain from Me his desired perfection both in this life and the next. [Note: Siddhi is taken here to mean a material result.] SB 11.27.49
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
The results of vaidhi-bhakti are described in the verse, taking arcana as the representative of other processes as well. It is also said:
akāmaḥ sarva-kāmo vā mokṣa-kāma udāra-dhīḥ |
tīvreṇa bhakti-yogena yajeta puruṣaṁ param ||
Whether one is without desire [the condition of the devotees], or is desirous of all fruitive results, or is after liberation, one should with all efforts try to worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead for complete perfection, culminating in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. SB 2.3.10
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
There is a similar statement by Śrī Kṛṣṇa Himself to Uddhava, in the Eleventh Canto of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Twenty-seventh Chapter, verse 49. The Lord says there, “My dear Uddhava, all persons are engaged in activities, whether those indicated in the revealed scriptures or ordinary worldly activities. If by the result of either of such activities they worship Me in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, then automatically they become very happy within this world, as well as in the next. Of this there is no doubt.” We can conclude from this statement by Kṛṣṇa that activities in Kṛṣṇa consciousness will give everyone all perfection in all desires.
Thus the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is so nice that there is no need of even designating oneself brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya, śūdra, brahmacārī, gṛhastha, vānaprastha or sannyāsī. Let everyone be engaged in whatever occupation he now has. Simply let him worship Lord Kṛṣṇa by the result of his activities in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That will adjust the whole situation, and everyone will be happy and peaceful within this world.
