Text 53] What Prahlada Learned in the Womb 111

Krsna consciousness is complete. This is confirmed in Bhagavad-gita
(9.30):
api cet sudurdacaro
bhajate mam ananya-bhak
sddhur eva sa mantavyah
samyag vyavasito hi sah

“Even if one commits the most abominable actions, if he is engaged in
devotional service he is to be considered saintly because he is properly
situated.” To develop unalloyed love for Krsna is the perfection of life.
Other processes may be helpful, but if one does not develop his love for
Krsna, these other processes are simply a waste of time.

dharmah svanusthitah pumsarn
visvaksena-kathdsu yah
notpadayed yadi ratim

Srama eva hi kevalam

“Duties [dharma] executed by men, regardless of occupation, are only so
much useless labor if they do not provoke attraction for the message of
the Supreme Lord.” (Bhag. 1.2.8) The test of perfection is one’s
unalloyed devotion to the Lord.
