PURPORT

As referred to above not only ordinary literatures devoid of the transcendental glorification of the Lord, are condemned but also Vedic literatures and speculation on the subject of impersonal Brahman, when they are devoid of devotional service, are also similarly condemned on account of such spiritual vacuum. When speculation on the impersonal Brahman is condemned on the above ground then what to speak about ordinary fruitive work if it is not meant for fulfilling the aim of devotional service. Such speculative knowledge and fruitive work cannot lead one to the goal of perfection. Fruitive work in which almost all people in general are engaged, is always painful either in the beginning or at the end, They can only be fruitful when they are made subservient to the devotional service of the Lord. In the Bhagwat Geeta also this is confirmed that the result of such fruitive work may be offered for the service of the Lord, otherwise they are all meant for material bondage. The bonafide enjoyer, of the fruitive work, is the personality of Godhead and as such fruitive result when it is engaged in the sense gratification of the living beings, all such results become acute sources of trouble for such false enjoyers.
