The Process of Creation
175
Śrīla Mādhavendra Purī said further:
mugdhaṁ māṁ nigadantu nīti-nipuṇā bhrāntaṁ muhur vaidikāḥ mandaṁ bāndhava-sañcayā jaḍa-dhiyaṁ muktādarāḥ sodarāḥ unmattaṁ dhanino viveka-caturāḥ kāmam mahā-dāmbhikam moktuṁ na kṣāmate manāg api mano govinda-pāda-spṛhām.
“Let the sharp moralist accuse me of being illusioned; I do not mind it. Experts in Vedic activities may slander me as being misled, friends and relatives may call me frustrated, my brothers may call me a fool, the wealthy mammonites may point me out as mad, and the learned philosophers may assert that I am much too proud; still my mind does not budge an inch from the determination of serving the lotus feet of Govinda, though I be unable to do it.”
And also Prahlāda Mahārāja said:
dharmārtha-kāma iti yo bhihitas trivarga īkṣā trayī naya-damau vividhā ca vārtā. manye tad etad akhilaṁ nigamasya satyaṁ svātmārpaṇaṁ svasuhṛdaḥ paramasya puṁsaḥ.
“Religion, economic development and sense gratification are celebrated as three means of attaining the path of salvation. Of these,  īkṣā trayī  especially, i.e., knowledge of the self, knowledge of fruitive acts and logic and also politics and economics, are different means of livelihood. All these are different subjects of Vedic education, and therefore I consider them temporary engagements. On the other hand, surrendering unto the Supreme Lord Viṣṇu is a factual gain in life, and I consider it the ultimate truth.”
The whole matter is concluded in the  Bhagavad-gītā  (Bg. 2.41) as  vyavasāyātmikā buddhiḥ , or the absolute path of perfection. Śrī Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa, a great Vaiṣṇava scholar, defines this as  bhagavad-arcanā-rūpaika-niṣkāma-karmabhir viśuddha-cittaḥ , accepting transcendentalloving service of the Lord as the prime duty, free from fruitive reaction.
So Mahārāja Parīkṣit was perfectly right when he accepted firmly the lotus feet of Lord Kṛṣṇa, renouncing all  karma-kāṇḍīya  conceptions of life.
