Engage in Krishna-karma

No work should be done by any man except in relationship to Krishna. This is called krishna-karma. One may be engaged in various activities, but one should not be attached to the result of his work; the result should be done only for Him.

For example, one may be engaged in business, but to transform that activity into Krishna consciousness, one has to do business for Krishna. If Krishna is the proprietor of the business, then Krishna should enjoy the profit of the business. If a businessman is in possession of thousands and thousands of dollars, and if he has to offer all this to Krishna, he can do it. This is work for Krishna.

Srila Prabhupada in Bhagavad-gita As It Is (BG 11.55)

    1. Whatever work you do for your living, dedicate the results to Krishna and accept what He gives you. In all your actions, please think that Krishna is the proprietor and you are working for Him. In this way, whatever action you do does not come under Karma, but becomes transcendental. Therefore, whatever remuneration that comes from your actions has to be spent for and on behalf of Krishna. Stay connected with Him always by remembering Krishna.

      With best wishes.
      Ram
