Ūti· What drives us to actCooperation Shares in Spiritual Results
“I request all the purehearted demigods, forefathers and saintly persons to support my proposal, for after death the result of an action is equally shared by its doer, its director and its supporter.”
What the purport teaches
- The doer, director and supporter of an action equally share its result after death. Pṛthu Mahārāja therefore asked the purehearted assembly to approve his proposal.
- His government followed Vedic injunctions and helped everyone perform their respective duties. Its chief purpose was to elevate people to Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
- Those who cooperated with Pṛthu Mahārāja would share in his spiritual benefit. Likewise, those who cooperate with the authorized Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement share in the results of those actively spreading it.
