To be situated in Krishna consciousness, we must take the mind away from the world towards God. For example, all the saints live in this world and do their duties, yet their internal consciousness is in God. For that reason, their mind is in complete peace, and they are free from Karmic reactions.
How, then, to develop that inner consciousness? Watch video to learn as Swami Mukundananda explains it in detail by relating Bhagavad Gita Chapter 4, verse 23.

गतसङ्गस्य मुक्तस्य ज्ञानावस्थितचेतस: |
यज्ञायाचरत: कर्म समग्रं प्रविलीयते || 4.23||
gata-sangasya muktasya jnanavasthita-chetasah
yajnayacharatah karma samagram praviliyate
BG 4.23: They are released from the bondage of material attachments and their intellect is established in divine knowledge. Since they perform all actions as a sacrifice (to God), they are freed from all karmic reactions.
In this verse, Lord Krishna summarizes the conclusion of the previous five verses. Dedication of all one’s actions to God results from the understanding that the soul is eternal servitor of God. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said: jīvera svarūpa haya kṛiṣhṇera nitya-dāsa (Chaitanya Charitāmṛit, Madhya Leela, 20.108)[v18] “The soul is by nature the servant of God.” Those who are established in this knowledge perform all their actions as an offering to him and are released from the sinful reactions of their work.
