Text 19 (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.2.19)
tadā rajas-tamo-bhāvāḥ
kāma-lobhādayaś ca ye
ceta etair anāviddhaṁ
sthitaṁ sattve prasīdati [1]

“As soon as irrevocable loving service is established in the heart, the effects of nature’s modes of passion and ignorance—such as lust, desire and hankering—disappear from the heart. Then the devotee is established in goodness, and he becomes completely happy.” [1, 2]
Text 20 (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.2.20)
evam prasanna-manaso
bhagavad-bhakti-yogatah
bhagavat-tattva-vijnanam
mukta-sangasya jayate [1]

Spiritual life does not mean zero ..
There must be activities, one cannot artificially stop the mind and senses, but rather find out the way to link them with the activities of the Supreme Brahman , He is known by many names and by His many activities . Activities can cause increasing trancendental bliss or, in material consciousness, they can helplessly bind the actor. Thus, it behoves us all to learn how to act , and everyone should learn and turn to Divinity and say ” How can I please you ” His pure representatives can help guide.
