Adi-lila, Chapter 3 217

atheistic material activities, exploring ways to utilize the resources of matter to
enjoy sense gratification. The vismu-bhaktas, Krsna conscious devotees, are also
active, but their objective is to satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead by devo-
tional service. Superficially both classes may appear to work in the same way, but
their purposes are completely opposite because of a difference in consciousness.
Asuras work for personal sense gratification, whereas devotees work for the satis-
faction of the Supreme Lord. Both work conscientiously, but their motives are
different.

The Krsna consciousness movement is meant for devas, or devotees. Demons
cannot take part in Krsna conscious activities, nor can devotees in Krgna conscious-
ness take part in demoniac activities or work like cats and dogs simply for sense
gratification. Such activity does not appeal to those in Krsna consciousness. Devotees
accept only the bare necessities of life to keep themselves fit to act in Krsna con-
sciousness. The balance of their energy is used for developing Krsna consciousness,
through which one can be transferred to the abode of Krsna by always thinking of
Him, even at the point of death.
