Negation Defined

“Naishkarma means not undertaking activities that will produce good or bad effects. Negation does not mean negation of the positive. Negation of the nonessentials does not mean negation of the essential. Similarly, detachment from material forms does not mean nullifying the positive form. The bhakti cult is meant for realization of the positive form.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Shrimad Bhagavatam, 1.2.7 Purport)
