यः तु इन्द्रियाणि मनसा नियम्य आरभते अर्जुन ।
कर्मेन्द्रियैः कर्म योगम् असक्तः स विशिष्यते ॥
TRANSLATION
On the other hand, if a sincere person tries to control the active senses by the mind and begins karma-yoga [in Kåñëa consciousness] without attachment, he is by far superior.
PURPORT
Instead of becoming a pseudo transcendentalist for the sake of wanton living and sense enjoyment, it is far better to remain in one's own business and execute the purpose of life, which is to get free from material bondage and enter into the kingdom of God. The prime svärtha-gati, or goal of self-interest, is to reach Viñëu. The whole institution of varëa and äçrama is designed to help us reach this goal of life. A householder can also reach this destination by regulated service in Kåñëa consciousness. For self-realization, one can live a controlled life, as prescribed in the çästras, and continue carrying out his business without attachment, and in that way make progress. A sincere person who follows this method is far better situated than the false pretender who adopts show—bottle spiritualism to cheat the innocent public. A sincere sweeper in the street is far better than the charlatan meditator who meditates only for the sake of making a living. [As-They-Surrender-Unto-Me ]
-- BG 3.7 (Translation and Purport by HDG AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada)
