	One cannot be elevated to the highest platform of devotional service by karma-kāṇḍa or jñāna-kāṇḍa. Pure devotional service can be understood and attained only through the association of pure devotees. In this regard, Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura states that there are two types of karma-kāṇḍa ~~activities—pious~~ and impious. Pious activities are certainly better than impious activities, but even pious activities cannot ~~bring about~~ ecstatic love of God, Kṛṣṇa. Pious and impious activities ~~can~~ bring about material happiness and distress, but there is no possibility of ~~one’s~~ becoming a pure devotee simply by acting piously or impiously. Bhakti, devotional service, means satisfying Kṛṣṇa. In every revealed scripture, whether stressing jñāna-kāṇḍa or karma-kāṇḍa, the principle of renunciation is always praised. The ripened fruit of Vedic knowledge, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, is the supreme Vedic evidence. In Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam ([[SB 1.5.12]]) it is said:		One cannot be elevated to the highest platform of devotional service by karma-kāṇḍa or jñāna-kāṇḍa.
