precisely to bring the incarnate being to know the causes of his conditioning, the only way to escape the clutches of material existence.
The only way to leave this material slavery is to give back to the will of God. But the fool, rather than fleeing the grip of maya, the energy of illusion which is akin to Satan, get entangled in the different names of what he believes his identity, intellectual, administrator, merchant, worker, Hindu, Muslim, Christian, European, American, African, and only bow to the orders of the Supreme Lord under the influence of the laws and scriptures relating to this identity.
The laws of any state are only imperfect imitations of religious precepts; secular, or separate from God, the state allows citizens to break divine laws, but strictly enjoins them to obey its own. But the people suffer more if they neglect the laws of God and observe only human laws. For imperfect by nature, in whatever form of material conditioning he finds himself, man, even the most evolved, can only create imperfect legislation. The laws of God, on the other hand, are not imperfect, and if instructed, what need do men have for relative legislation, created by expedient politicians, misguided in every way. Human laws must always be modified, revised, but not those of God, since they issue from the Divine Being who possesses supreme perfection.
The scriptural laws, of which we spoke above, are established by liberated souls, the pure representatives of God, with regard to the various conditions specific to each being. Adherence to these laws, from the Lord, gradually brings the conditioned soul to free itself from the clutches of material existence. Nevertheless, each is by its very nature an Eternal Servant or Eternal Servant of the Supreme Lord. So can he, can she, in a liberated state, serve the Lord in a feeling of purely spiritual love, and thus enjoy an existence of perfect freedom, sometimes even in a position equal or even superior to that of the Lord. In the conditioned state, on the contrary, in the material universe under the illusion of maya, each one wishes to dominate all other beings, a spirit of domination which prolongs and increases his conditioning, until the day when he abandons himself to the Lord and finds with Him his first condition of eternal servant.
If someone takes Krishna consciousness very seriously, God consciousness, he can resist the provocations engendered by sin. It is necessary to refrain from committing the following four forms of sins:
It is therefore forbidden to have illicit sex, outside marriage, to eat meat, fish and eggs, to consume drugs and any intoxicants, such as drug substitutes and other opiates, alcohol, coffee, tea, cigarettes, and gambling.
If by the grace of the Lord we can remain faithful to the regulatory principles what are the prohibitions cited above, and singing the hymn of the Holy Names of God, “Hare Krishna”, the Lord will not fail to protect us. In fact, Krishna declares that his devotees is never defeated. All those who follow this discipline of Krishna consciousness should submit to the strict observance of the regulatory principles and stand firm in the practice of chanting the Holy Names of the Lord.
