Unalloyed Bhakti has no Karma

Prabhupada: So if you bring bhakti, karma-misra-bhakti, that is called karma-yoga. Similarly, you are addicted to speculation, jnana. When you bring bhakti and mix with it, then it is jnana-misra-bhakti or jnana-yoga.

Prabhupada: Yes, quality of karma. Just like Arjuna, Arjuna was fighting. So he was giving the certificate-bhakto ‘si. Bhakto ‘si: “You are My devotee.” So everything is karma, whatever you do. It is activity. But we have to see the quality of that activity. What is the quality of it. Yes, how you can live without being active? You are living being. That’s not possible. Simply we have to see the quality of our activity. That makes one karma-yogi, jnana-yogi, dhyana-yogi, bhakti-yogi. Everywhere there is karma. Without karma there is nothing.

Reporter: Hm. Can I ask you another…
Prabhupada: Therefore it is called karma-misra-bhakti. It is not unalloyed bhakti.
Reporter: No, no.
Prabhupada: Unalloyed bhakti, there is no karma.
