#p##i#Yajñārtha karma#/i#, or the necessity of work for the satisfaction of Kṛṣṇa only, is more expressly stated in this verse. If we have to work for the satisfaction of the #i#yajña-puruṣa#/i#, Viṣṇu, then we must find out the direction of work in Brahman, or the transcendental #i#Vedas#/i#. The #i#Vedas#/i# are therefore codes of working directions. Anything performed without the direction of the #i#Vedas#/i# is called #i#vikarma#/i#, or unauthorized or sinful work. Therefore, one should always take direction from the #i#Vedas#/i# to be saved from the reaction of work. As one has to work in ordinary life by the direction of the state, similarly, one has to work under direction of the supreme state of the Lord. Such directions in the #i#Vedas#/i# are directly manifested from the breathing of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It is said: #i#asya mahato bhūtasya naśvasitam etad yad ṛg-vedo yajur-vedaḥ sāma-vedo 'tharvāṅ girasaḥ#/i#. "The four #i#Vedas—#/i#namely the #i#Ṛg-veda, Yajur-veda, Sāma-veda#/i# and #i#Atharva-veda#/i#—are all emanations from the breathing of the great Personality of Godhead." The Lord, being omnipotent, can speak by breathing air, as it is confirmed in the #i#Brahma-saṁhitā#/i#, for the Lord has the omnipotence to perform through each of His senses the actions of all other senses. In other words, the Lord can speak through His breathing, and He can impregnate by His eyes. In fact, it is said that He glanced over material nature and thus fathered all living entities. After creating or impregnating the conditioned souls into the womb of material nature, He gave His directions in the Vedic wisdom as to how such conditioned souls can return home, back to Godhead. We should always remember that the conditioned souls in material nature are all eager for material enjoyment. But the Vedic directions are so made that one can satisfy one's perverted desires, then return to Godhead, having finished his so-called enjoyment. It is a chance for the conditioned souls to attain liberation; therefore the conditioned souls must try to follow the process of #i#yajña#/i# by becoming Kṛṣṇa conscious. Even those who cannot follow the Vedic injunctions may adopt the principles of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and that will take the place of performance of Vedic #i#yajñas#/i#, or #i#karmas#/i#.
