BG 5.11
kayena manasa buddhya
kevalair indriyair api
yoginah karma kurvanti
sangam tyaktvatma-suddhaye
TRANSLATION
The yogis, abandoning attachment, act with body, mind, intelligence and even with the senses, only for the purpose of purification.
PURPORT
When one acts in Krsna consciousness for the satisfaction of the senses of Krsna, any action, whether of the body, mind,
intelligence or even the senses, is purified of material contamination. There are no material reactions resulting from the
activities of a Krsna conscious person. Therefore purified activities, which are generally called sad-acara, can be easily
performed by acting in Krsna consciousness. Sri Rupa Gosvami in his Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu (1.2.187) describes this as follows:
iha yasya harer dasye
karmana manasa gira
nikhilasv apy avasthasu
jivan-muktah sa ucyate
"A person acting in Krsna consciousness (or, in other words, in the service of Krsna) with his body, mind, intelligence and
words is a liberated person even within the material world, although he may be engaged in many so-called material
activities." He has no false ego, for he does not believe that he is this material body, or that he possesses the body. He
knows that he is not this body and that this body does not belong to him. He himself belongs to Krsna, and the body too
belongs to Krsna. When he applies everything produced of the body, mind, intelligence, words, life, wealth, etc.—whatever
he may have within his possession—to Krsna's service, he is at once dovetailed with Krsna. He is one with Krsna and is
devoid of the false ego that leads one to believe that he is the body, etc. This is the perfect stage of Krsna
consciousness.

TRANSLATION
1) Mind, body, and family, whatever may be mine, I have surrendered at Your lotus feet, O youthful son of Nanda!
2) In good fortune or in bad, in life or at death, all my difficulties have disappeared by choosing those feet of Yours as my only shelter.
3) Slay me or protect me as You wish, for You are the master of Your eternal servant.
4) If it is Your will that I be born again, then may it be in the home of Your devotee.
5) May I be born again even as a worm, so long as I may remain Your devotee. I have no desire to be born as a Brahma averse to You.
6) I yearn for the company of that devotee who is completely devoid of all desire for worldly enjoyment or liberation.
7) Father, mother, lover, son, Lord, preceptor, and husband; You are everything to me.
8) Thakura Bhaktivinoda says, "O Kana, please hear me! O Lord of Radha, You are my life and soul!"
