Vedic injunction is also like that, that "You do sacrifice for the Supreme, then you will never be unhappy. You will never be in want." Now, mind that, that the work is not stopped. The work in which you are engaged, that is not stopped. We have discussed in the previous verse that niyataṁ kuru karma tvam. The work which is entrusted to you, or the work in which you are now engaged, that is not to be undone. You work as you are doing, but you engage your . . . the result of your work or life for the matter of sacrificing for the Supreme Lord.
There is a very good example in the life of the Gosvāmīs, whom we daily pray, vande rūpa-sanātanau raghu-yugau śrī-jīva-gopālakau (Śrī Ṣaḍ Gosvāmy Aṣṭaka).
These six Gosvāmīns, they were very important men of their age, in five hundred years before. These Rūpa and Sanātana, they were great politicians, ministers, of the then Muhammadan government in Bengal. In Bengal at that time the Pathans were ruling. Before the Moguls came, there were Pathan ruling. For one thousand years the Muhammadans invaded India, from 1000 A.D. up to 1947, till the end of the British period. India was under subjugation by so many foreigners: Muhammadans, Greeks, and so many others. Lastly, the Muhammadans ruled for eight hundred years. And the Britishers ruled for two hundred years. So now they have got independence, India.
