Text 43] The Sacrifice Performed by Daksa 257

Those who worship demigods are not very intelligent. Besides that, the
demigods say, ‘““We are Your eternal servants.” So those who are servants,
or devotees of the Lord, are not very much concerned with fruitive
activities, the performance of the prescribed yajias or mental speculation.
They simply serve the Supreme Personality of Godhead sincerely, with
love and faith, performing everything with that loving service, and the
Lord gives such devotees direct protection. In Bhagavad-gita Lord Krsna
says, “Simply surrender unto Me, and I will give you protection from all
the reactions of sinful activities.” This material world is so created that one
has to act sinfully, knowingly or unknowingly, and unless his life is
dedicated to Visnu, he has to suffer all the reactions of sinful activities.
But one who surrenders and dedicates his life for the service of the Lord
has direct protection from the Lord. He has no fear of suffering from
sinful activities, nor does he desire, willingly or unwillingly, to do
anything which is sinful.
