Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

"A Kṛṣṇa conscious person, he never thinks that, "I am doing something." Even if you ask him that, "Are you going to such-and-such place?" Suppose it is settled that he's going to such-and-such place. If you ask him, "When you are going?" he'll say that, "I do not know when I shall go, but when Kṛṣṇa will ask me or allow me to go, I shall go." This . . . I am saying this from my practical experience from my Guru Mahārāja, from my spiritual master. He would never say that "I am going," "I am doing." No. "If Kṛṣṇa desires, then I shall do it." "If Kṛṣṇa desires, then I shall go." Like that. Always depending on Kṛṣṇa. This is called viśuddhātmā. Naiva kiñcit karomīti yukto manyeta tattva-vit (BG 5.8).

If I am situated in this Kṛṣṇa consciousness and I am in my ātmā, I am in pure state of my ātmā, and I am controlling my body and senses, and I identify with everybody, every living entity, then I have no entanglement, no reaction of my work. In this state, Kṛṣṇa says, naiva kiñcit karomīti yukto manyeta tattva-vit. "I am not doing anything." That is the stage

Tattva-vit. Tattva-vit means one who knows the truth. One who knows the truth. The truth is that unless Kṛṣṇa allows me to go, oh, I may not go. There may be so many obstacles on my path. I have made my whole program. Just like last year, there was air crash on the Switzerland, one Indian aircraft. And there were all respectable gentlemen, and there was—perhaps you know it—there was one Indian chemist, Mr . . . Dr. Bhava. He was going to attend some nuclear meeting in some European country, but there was a crash, and all of them died in a second. So unless Kṛṣṇa desires, unless He allows, we cannot do anything. We cannot do any . . . this is the fact.
