Text 62] King Citraketu Meets the Lord 161

fruitive actions, for by such endeavors one cannot achieve the ulti-
mate goal of life. On the other hand, if one acts without desires for
fruitive results—in other words, if one engages in devotional ac-
tivities— he can achieve the highest goal of life with freedom from

miserable conditions. Considering this, one should cease from

TRANSLATION

As husband and wife, a man and woman plan together to attain
happiness and decrease unhappiness, working jointly in many
ways, but because their activities are full of desires, these activities
are never a source of happiness, and they never diminish distress.
On the contrary, they are a cause of great unhappiness.
