(Sanat-kumāra-saṁhitā: 113–114)“One should never worry about the here and now or the hereafter [i.e., about one’s future in this world or the next]. The here and now should always be considered the result of previously performed karma, and Kṛṣṇa himself will arrange the hereafter. Therefore, endeavor to do that [i.e., to effect a desirable afterlife] is to be given up completely by human beings [and instead one should endeavor only to serve and satisfy Kṛṣṇa].”
