TRANSLATION — TRADUCCION
 | Due to his pious activities in previous lives, the conditioned soul attains material facilities in this life, but when they are finished, he takes shelter of wealth and riches, which cannot help him in this life or the next. Because of this, he approaches the living dead who possess these things. Such people are compared to impure trees, creepers and poisonous wells. | | | Debido a las actividades piadosas de sus vidas anteriores, el alma condicionada obtiene en ésta un cierto bienestar material; sin embargo, cuando ese bienestar acaba, se refugia en la riqueza y las posesiones, que no pueden ayudarle ni en esta vida ni en la siguiente. Debido a ello, se relaciona con los muertos vivientes que poseen esas riquezas, a quienes se compara a árboles impuros, enredaderas y pozos envenenados. | |
PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO
| | The wealth and riches acquired through previous pious activities should not be misused for sense gratification. Enjoying them for sense gratification is like enjoying the fruits of a poisonous tree. Such activities will not help the conditioned soul in any way, neither in this life nor the next. However, if one engages his possessions in the service of the Lord under the guidance of a proper spiritual master, he will attain happiness both in this life and the next. Unless he does so, he eats a forbidden apple and thereby loses his paradise. Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa therefore advises that one’s possessions should be given unto Him. | | | Las riquezas y posesiones adquiridas gracias a las actividades piadosas anteriores no deben emplearse erróneamente en la complacencia de los sentidos. Disfrutar de ellas de ese modo es como disfrutar de los frutos de un árbol venenoso. Esas actividades no suponen ninguna ayuda para la entidad viviente, ni en esta vida ni en la siguiente. Sin embargo, quien ocupe sus posesiones en el servicio del Señor bajo la guía de un maestro espiritual adecuado, obtendrá felicidad tanto en esta vida como en la siguiente. Quien no actúe así, estará comiendo del fruto prohibido, y debido a ello perderá su paraíso. Por consiguiente, el Señor Śrī Kṛṣṇa nos aconseja que Le ofrezcamos a Él nuestras posesiones. | | | | | yat karoṣi yad aśnāsi

Todo lo que hagas, todo lo que comas, todo lo que ofrezcas y des, así como todas las austeridades que realices, deben hacerse como una ofrenda para Mí». (Bhagavad-gītā 9.27) | | | | | Material wealth and opulence attained through previous pious activities can be fully utilized for one’s benefit in this life and the next if one is Kṛṣṇa conscious. One should not try to possess more than he needs for the bare necessities. If one gets more than is needed, the surplus should be fully engaged in the Lord’s service. That will make the conditioned soul, the world and Kṛṣṇa happy, and this is the aim of life. | | | Material wealth and opulence attained through previous pious activities can be fully utilized for one’s benefit in this life and the next if one is Kṛṣṇa conscious.
