To approach it one must be perfectly pure, and for this purpose is required the morality and ethics.
This is why God says “Be holy as I am Saints”.
This is also why it is forbidden to have illicit sexual relations, outside marriage, to eat meat, fish and eggs, to consume drugs and all intoxicants such as alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, marijuana, coffee, tea, and to indulge in games of chance, money or monetary speculation, which are the four pillars of sin.
Who knows how to avoid these four pillars of sin can remain pure. Krishna consciousness, God consciousness, is based on this morality. Anyone who cannot follow the above principles will fall spiritually and sink into the darkness of ignorance.
Purity is the foundational principle of divine consciousness and is essential to reestablishing our eternal relationship with God.
Logos 351
The body is the source of our sufferings.
Awareness of the spiritual self and the awareness of God is the goal of human life, but men ignore it. Today's society is run by blind people, and the masses themselves are blind too; so we have a situation where blind people are guided by blind people. The human being must be able to know the fundamental principle of knowledge, namely that we are distinct from our body of matter. When he understands this fundamental principle, he can then progress towards a deeper knowledge.
In truth, we are all spiritual in nature and we inhabit a material body at this time. Our suffering originates from our identification with the latter. The fact that we have put on a body now condemns us to suffer.
So whether we are white, black, yellow, red or mestizo, we must first of all consider how we should extract ourselves from our body, if we want to end our suffering. Each of us is a spiritual soul, which has entered a body. In our next life, we can put on another body. By suffering, we must also understand birth, illness, old age and death. Also, in order to put an end to these four kinds of suffering, we must free ourselves from our body. It may take many, many lifetimes, but maybe we will do it in one lifetime. If in this life we understand that our body is the cause of our suffering, then we should inquire about how to free ourselves from it.
Verily, one who is fully aware of God has access to the cessation of his sufferings. The secret to leaving our material body for good is to surrender ourselves completely to God, and to serve him with love and devotion. God will then offer us a spiritual body
