Faith means unflinching trust in something sublime. When one is engaged in the duties of Kåñëa consciousness, he need not act in relationship to the material world with obligations to family traditions, humanity, or nationality. Fruitive activities are the engagements of one's reactions from past good or bad deeds. When one is awake in Kåñëa consciousness, he need no longer endeavor for good results in his activities. When one is situated in Kåñëa consciousness, all activities are on the absolute plane, for they are no longer subject to dualities like good and bad. The highest perfection of Kåñëa consciousness is renunciation of the material conception of life. This state is automatically achieved by progressive Kåñëa consciousness. The resolute purpose of a person in Kåñëa consciousness is based on knowledge ("Väsudevaù sarvam iti sa mahätmä sudurlabhaù") by which one comes to know perfectly that Väsudeva, or Kåñëa, is the root of all manifested causes. As water on the root of a tree is automatically distributed to the leaves and branches, in Kåñëa consciousness, one can render the highest service to everyone—namely self, family, society, country, humanity, etc. If Kåñëa is satisfied by one's actions, then everyone will be satisfied.

"By satisfaction of the spiritual master, the Supreme Personality of Godhead becomes satisfied. And by not satisfying the spiritual master, there is no chance of being promoted to the plane of Kåñëa consciousness. I should, therefore, meditate and pray for his mercy three times a day, and offer my respectful obeisances unto him, my spiritual master."
