Thus when all activities of the human being become dedicated unto the service of the Lord, the activities which are causal to perpetual bondage, become the killing source of the tree of work.

Fruitive work which has perpetually engaged the living being in growing the tree of work, as it is compared with the banian tree in the Bhagwat Geeta, is certainly very much deep rooted. So long the propensity for enjoying the fruit of work is there one has to continue the condition of transmigration of the soul from one body or place to another body or place according to one's nature of work. #b#The propensity for enjoyment may be turned into the desire for serving the mission of the Lord#/b#. By doing so one's activity is changed into Karmayoga or the way by which one can attain spiritual perfection even being engaged in his work for which he has a natural tendency. Here the word Atma indicates the categories of all fruitive work. The conclusion is that when the result of all fruitive and other works is dovetailed with the service of the Lord, they will cease to generate further Karma and will gradually develop into transcendental devotional service which will not only cut off completely the root of the banian tree of work but also will carry the performer to the Lotus Feet of the Lord.
#$p#The summary is that one has to, first of all, seek the association of pure devotees who are not only learned in the Vedantas but also self realised souls and unalloyed devotees of Lord Sri Krishna The Personality of Godhead. In that association, the neophyte devotees must render loving service physically and mentally with out any reservation. This service attitude of the neophyte will induce the great souls more to be favorable for bestowing their mercy which infects the neophyte with all the transcendental qualities of such pure devotees. Gradually this is developed into the strong attachment for hearing the transcendental pastimes of the Lord, which makes him able to catch up the constitutional position of the two gross and subtle bodies and beyond them is the knowledge of pure soul and his eternal relation with the Supreme Soul the Personality of Godhead. After the relation is ascertained by establishment of the eternal relation, pure devotional service of the Lord begins gradually developing into perfect knowledge of the Personality of Godhead beyond the purview of impersonal Brahman and localised Paramatma. By such Purushottamyoga, as it is stated in the Bhagwat Geeta, one is made perfect even during the present corporal existence exhibiting all the good qualities of the Lord to the highest percentage. These are the gradual development by association of pure devotees.
