Bhagavad-gita As It Is - 18.12

TEXT 12

anistam istam misram ca 
tri-vidham karmanah phalam 
bhavaty atyaginam pretya 
na tu sannyasinam kvacit

SYNONYMS

anistam--leading to hell; istam--leading to heaven; misram ca--or mixture; tri-vidham--three kinds; karmanah--work; phalam--result;bhavati--becomes; atyaginam--of the renouncer; pretya--after death;na tu--but not; sannyasinam--of the renounced order; kvacit--at any time.

TRANSLATION

For one who is not renounced, the threefold fruits of action--desirable, undesirable and mixed--accrue after death. But those who are in the renounced order of life have no such results to suffer or enjoy.

PURPORT

A person in Krsna consciousness or in the mode of goodness does not hate anyone or anything which troubles his body. He does work in the proper place and at the proper time without fearing the troublesome effects of his duty. Such a person situated in transcendence should be understood to be most intelligent and beyond all doubts in his activities.
