Srimad Bhagavatam 6.1.44 - December 25, 1970 - Surat

A class on Srimad Bhagavatam 6.1.44 given by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada on December 25, 1970 in Surat, India. Srimad Bhagavatam 6.1.44 sambhavanti hi bhadrāṇi  viparītāni cānaghāḥ kāriṇāṁ guṇa-saṅgo ’sti  dehavān na hy akarma-kṛt O inhabitants of Vaikuṇṭha, you are sinless, but those within this material world are all karmīs, whether acting piously or impiously. Both kinds of action are possible for them because they are contaminated by the three modes of nature and must act accordingly. One who has accepted a material body cannot be inactive, and sinful action is inevitable for one acting under the modes of material nature. Therefore all the living entities within this material world are punishable.
