in the Brahma-samhita (5.54) it is said, karmani nirdahati kintu ca bhakti-bha-jam. Lord Krsna is so merciful that He can stop the reaction of karma for His devotee. Everyone-from a small insect called indra-gopa up to Indra, the King of heaven-is bound by the reactions of fruitive activities.

Everyone, whether like an insect or the King of heaven, is entangled and bound by the actions and reactions of his karma However, when one becomes a pure devotee, free from material desires and from bondage to karma, jnana and yoga, one is freed from material actions and reactions by the causeless mercy of Krsna. One cannot express sufficient gratitude to Krsna for being freed from the materialistic way of life.
