True renunciation is that by which one always regards oneself as an integral part of the Supreme Lord, knowing that one has no right to enjoy the fruits of one's actions. Since we ourselves are only souls or spiritual sparks, minute fragments of the Divine Personality, Krishna, integral parts of the Lord, it is to Him that the enjoyment of the fruits of our actions must revert. Such, truly, is Krishna consciousness or God consciousness. One who acts in Krishna consciousness is the true renunciate. Performing his actions in such a spirit, he experiences satisfaction, for he is truly acting for the Supreme Being. He thus becomes unattached to anything material; he accustoms himself to finding pleasure in nothing other than the spiritual bliss given by devotional service. The renunciate is considered to be free from the consequences of his past actions, but the being established in Krishna consciousness attains this perfection quite naturally, without even having to embrace the order of renunciation. This state of mind of the renounced person is called the perfection of union or communion with Godhead. One who thus finds satisfaction within himself fears no consequences for his actions.

Loving and devoted service offered to Krishna, God, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is the manifestation of love for Godhead. Blessed are those who act for God, for their actions have no effect or consequence, good or bad.

Truly, those who act in God consciousness automatically escape the imprisonment of karma. If they dedicate all their actions to the Lord alone, they neither experience nor suffer from their effects. Although they always continue to act, they shine with keen intelligence among men, for they do so for God. Their actions are therefore pure, for they have no material consequences.

Those immersed in pure spirituality need have no fear, for they know themselves to be the servants of the Supreme Eternal, Krishna, and never hesitate to act in God consciousness. All their actions, free from all material desires, are aimed solely at the pleasure of God, and their only consequence is absolute happiness. By acting in full awareness of their subordination to Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, they are immune to all material consequences of their actions.

This is the perfection of love for Godhead.
