Description: We discuss these three verses: SB 1.2.6-8 sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmo  yato bhaktir adhokṣaje ahaituky apratihatā  yayātmā suprasīdati Synonyms: saḥ — that; vai — certainly; puṁsām — for mankind; paraḥ — sublime; dharmaḥ — occupation; yataḥ — by which; bhaktiḥ — devotional service; adhokṣaje — unto the Transcendence; ahaitukī — causeless; apratihatā — unbroken; yayā — by which; ātmā — the self; suprasīdati — completely satisfied. Translation: The supreme occupation [dharma] for all humanity is that by which men can attain to loving devotional service unto the transcendent Lord. Such devotional service must be unmotivated and uninterrupted to completely satisfy the self. vāsudeve bhagavati  bhakti-yogaḥ prayojitaḥ janayaty āśu vairāgyaṁ  jñānaṁ ca yad ahaitukam Synonyms: vāsudeve — unto Kṛṣṇa; bhagavati — unto the Personality of Godhead; bhakti-yogaḥ — contact of devotional service; prayojitaḥ — being applied; janayati — does produce; āśu — very soon; vairāgyam — detachment; jñānam — knowledge; ca — and; yat — that which; ahaitukam — causeless. Translation: By rendering devotional service unto the Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, one immediately acquires causeless knowledge and detachment from the world. dharmaḥ svanuṣṭhitaḥ puṁsāṁ  viṣvaksena-kathāsu yaḥ notpādayed yadi ratiṁ  śrama eva hi kevalam Synonyms: dharmaḥ — occupation; svanuṣṭhitaḥ — executed in terms of one’s own position; puṁsām — of humankind; viṣvaksena — the Personality of Godhead (plenary portion); kathāsu — in the message of; yaḥ — what is; na — not; utpādayet — does produce; yadi — if; ratim — attraction; śramaḥ — useless labor; eva — only; hi — certainly; kevalam — entirely. Translation: The occupational activities a man performs according to his own position are only so much useless labor if they do not provoke attraction for the message of the Personality of Godhead.
