Taliks Between the Lord and Rāmānanda Rāva
117
TRANSLATION
Rāmānanda Rāya continued, “‘Occupational duties are described in the religious scriptures. If one analyzes them, he can fully understand their qualities and faults and then give them up completely to render service unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Such a person is considered a first-class man.’

PURPORT
In this connection, Śrīla Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī instructs in his book  Manaḥ-śikṣā  (2):
na dharmaṁ nādharmaṁ śruti-gaṇa-niruktaṁ kila kuru vraje rādhā-kṛṣṇa-pracura-paricaryām iha tanu
He has thus enjoined that we should not perform religious or irreligious activities as prescribed in the  Vedas . The best course is to engage always in the service of Lord Kṛṣṇa and Rādhārāṇī. That is the perfection of everything in this life. Similarly, in  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  (4.29.46) it is said by Nārada Muni:
yadā yasyānugṛhṇāti bhagavān ātma-bhāvitaḥ sa jahāti matiṁ loke vede ca pariniṣṭhitām
