Do it for Krsna

The reading of Bhagavad-gita and chanting Hare Krsna doesn't mean you have to abandon professional life, it doesn't mean you have to abandon professional ambitions. No, you can go ahead and go for your education as high as you want. You can go ahead and be as ambitious in your professional career. But do it for the pleasure of Krsna. If we work for the pleasure of the lord, even if we be in the material world, we will be free from the ill-effects of the illusory energy.
