positave engagement

Imported quote 18240 Therefore here it is said, asevayayam prakrter gunanam. That you have to learn. That you can learn very easily if you turn your attention to the service... Therefore this bhakti-yoga service. We are simply insisting: get up early in the morning, do this service, do that... In this way, if we engage ourselves in the service of Krsna, gradually we shall forget the service of maya. The service of maya means sinful activities, that's all. So, so long we are in the service of maya, duskrtinam, engaged in sinful activities, it is not possible. But if you engage the positive and the negative... The Mayavadi, they are simply trying to be negative. There is no positive engagement. But here in the bhakti-yoga, negative is there and positive is there. Therefore there is electric light bulb, negative and positive. Therefore there is enlightenment. Simply negative will not help you. And if you don't care of the negative sides, simply positive also will not. But bhakti-yoga is so strong, if you take to the positive side of service of Krsna, the material service, or maya's service, will automatically become negative. Bhaktiḥ paresanubhavo viraktir anyatra syat [SB 11.2.42].
