An intelligent person should be satisfied with eating prasada (food offered to the Lord) or with performing the five different kinds of yajna (panca-suna). By such activities, one can give up attachment for the body and so-called proprietorship with reference to the body. When one is able to do this, he is firmly fixed in the position of a mahatma.
