The best way to perform any action is called yoga. So, somebody can do the activity called sin, which is stealing and, breaking the laws of nature, known as druskriti. So Krishna is telling not to druskriti but he is also saying here ‘ughhh sukriti dushe’ do not do sukriti; do not do good deeds either.

            Now a person can ask why Krishna is saying ‘sukriti diskrete’. I will not do bad deeds. Because as we discussed in the previous verse. Are so-called good deeds also prohibited? And we can understand from a different perspective: will any good activity stop our death? Will it stop our diseases? Will it stop our diseases? No. It means that even that activity is sinful; otherwise, nature will not kill us. So, any activity that does not stop our death is actually sinful. If any person is given capital punishment to be hanged till death, it means he has done a wrong act. So, we have to understand that any activity which does not stop our death, old age and disease is bad. So why is good activity also called bad?

            What is good activity? All the resources belong to God. Now those you want to use should be directly in the service of others without engaging them in the service of God. Thus, it is bad. But still it is recommended because at least you start thinking about others, you do not remain on a very low platform of animal consciousness. My life, my resources for myself; at least you start thinking about others. So such pious activities are recommended. But even if you do pious good, charitable, noble activities, what you will have been a good birth with good material facilities and, enjoyment in the next life, but whatever enjoyment and material facilities we have. We may become very educated, beautiful, and successful. And then we may have a big house for ourselves, but instead of suffering from COVID in a small house, you will suffer from COVID in a big house; suffering will not go.

            You may be less educated. You may attract a life partner who is also less educated or less beautiful. If you have a beautiful, attractive body, a learned person can attract a life partner who is both beautiful and learned. But fights with the life partner will happen. The pain will always be there. So, you fight with a less educated life partner or more educated life partners. Similarly, death will also accompany old age, which has its own company. Thus, if a person is wise, he understands that so-called good activities do not solve the problems of life.

            One should not engage in both good and bad activities because both entangle us in the laws of karma; as soon as we perform any activity, we produce a reaction to that activity that we have to suffer or enjoy in a material body, and as soon as we take a material body, it means birth, death, old age and disease. These miseries follow. So, Krishna is telling us to rise above good activity and bad activity. Simply do the activities in yoga, in Buddha, and yoga in Krishna consciousness.

            So, when the activity is done only for the satisfaction of the Supreme God, then such activity is called neither good nor bad; such activities are called akarma. It does not bring any material reaction. It brings spiritual reaction. You become spiritually happy and are liberated from the cycle of birth and death.
