246 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Antya-lila, Ch. 10
PURPORT
Karmis, fruitive workers, cannot understand the finer conclusions of devotional
service because they accept only its ritualistic value but do not understand how
devotional service satisfies the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The karmis view
the formalities as a means of advancing in religion, economic development, sen-
sual satisfaction and liberation. Although these are only material results of follow-
ing religious principles, the karmis consider them everything. Such ritualistic ac-
tivities are called karma. Karmis who adopt devotional service very loosely and
who therefore remain on the platform of material activities are called prakrta-
sahajiyads. They cannot understand how pure devotional service is rendered in
paternal and conjugal love, for this can be understood only by the special mercy
bestowed by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu upon pure devotees.
