SB 6.1.15
kecit kevalaya bhaktya
vasudeva-parayanah
agham dhunvanti kartsnyena
niharam iva bhaskarah
kecit—some people; kevalaya bhaktya—by executing unalloyed devotional service; vasudeva—to Lord Krsna, the all-pervading Supreme Personality of Godhead; parayanah—completely attached (only to such service, without dependence on austerity, penance, cultivation of knowledge or pious activities); agham—all kinds of sinful reactions; dhunvanti—destroy; kartsnyena—completely (with no possibility that sinful desires will revive); niharam—fog; iva—like; bhaskarah—the sun.
Only a rare person who has adopted complete, unalloyed devotional service to Krsna can uproot the weeds of sinful actions with no possibility that they will revive. He can do this simply by discharging devotional service, just as the sun can immediately dissipate fog by its rays.

SB 6.2.17
tais tany aghani puyante
tapo-dana-vratadibhih
nadharmajam tad-dhrdayam
tad apisanghri-sevaya
taih—by those; tani—all those; aghani—sinful activities and their results; puyante—become vanquished; tapah—austerity; dana—charity; vrata-adibhih—by vows and other such activities; na—not; adharma-jam—produced from irreligious actions; tat—of that; hrdayam—the heart; tat—that; api—also; isa-anghri—of the lotus feet of the Lord; sevaya—by service.
Although one may neutralize the reactions of sinful life through austerity, charity, vows and other such methods, these pious activities cannot uproot the material desires in one's heart. However, if one serves the lotus feet of the Personality of Godhead, he is immediately freed from all such contaminations.
