That is the purpose. Purification is God’s will. Our consciousness is somewhere between these two.
It’s not that we do something just for our own good. But it’s not that we do something just for God’s will. It’s a mixture of both.
So what happens is, slowly, when we keep doing God’s service, we keep purifying ourselves through that service. And the purpose of self-purification decreases. And the purpose of self-purification increases.
But this will happen slowly. Like I said earlier, if we don’t do anything for our own self-purification, then why do we do it? We don’t want to do anything. Usually, when we start, what I like is one circle.
And God’s service is another circle. So what happens is, apart from this circle, we can’t go directly into this circle. So the intersection of these two circles, where both meet, where there is equality, that’s where I work.
A Brahmin person likes reading scriptures, speaking on scriptures. He likes that. But reading scriptures about God, telling the message of God, that is a work of devotion.
If we come to the intersection of these two, then we can work steadily. And it’s not like, when we are purified, we will do what we don’t like. We can do that.
And when we need it, we can do it now. But if we want to do God’s service steadily, then the method of Varnashrama is, that we do what is natural for God. So the purpose is, that purification happens slowly.
You don’t have to worry too much about karma yoga or bhakti yoga. Hare Krishna.
