Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta
[Antya-līlā, Ch. 6]
forms will produce reactions of fruitive bondage ( karma-bandhanaḥ ). In Śrīmad- Bhāgavatam  it is said:
nūnaṁ pramattaḥ kurute vikarma yad-indriya-prītaya āpṛṇoti na sādhu manye yata ātmano 'yam asann api kleśada āsa dehaḥ
“A materialistic person, madly engaged in activities for sense enjoyment, does not know that he is entangling himself in repeated birth and death and that his body, although temporary, is full of miseries.” (Śrīmad- Bhāgavatam  5.5.4) A  viṣayī , a person blindly caught in a web of materialistic life, remains in the cycle of birth and death perpetually. Such a person cannot understand how to execute pure devotional service, and therefore he acts as a  karmī ,  jñānī ,  yogī  or something else, according to his desire, but he does not know that the activities of  karma ,  jñāna  and  yoga  simply bind one to the cycle of birth and death.

TRANSLATION
“By His own free will, Lord Kṛṣṇa has delivered you from such a condemned materialistic life. Therefore the glories of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s causeless mercy cannot be expressed.”
PURPORT
In the  Brahma-saṁhitā  (5.54) it is said,  karmāṇi nirdahati kintu ca bhakti-bhājām . Lord Kṛṣṇa is so merciful that He can stop the reaction of  karma  for His devotee. Everyone—from a small insect called  indra-gopa  up to Indra, the King of heaven—is bound by the reactions of fruitive activities.
