PURPORT
na dharmam nadharmam sruti-gana-niruktam kila kuru
vraje radha-krsna-pracura-paricaryam iha tanu He has thus enjoined that we should not perform religious or irreligious activities as prescribed in the Vedas. The best course is to engage always in the service of Lord Krsna and Radharani. That is the perfection of everything in this life. Similarly, in Srimad-Bhagavatam (4.29.46) it is said by Narada Muni:
yada yasyanugrhnati
bhagavan atma-bhavitah sa jahati matim loke vede ca parinisthitam "When one actually takes to the loving service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he gives up all duties in the material world, as well as all duties prescribed by the Vedic literature. In this way one is fixed in the service of the Lord."
