I must admit that I have excessively shortened the text, as I did not want to be too lengthy and elaborate.

In truth, spiritual vision is acquired by taking refuge in Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, by surrendering oneself to Him completely, serving Him with love and devotion, obeying Him, doing His will with joy and eagerness, and strictly applying the regulative principles:

No illicit sexual relations outside of marriage (ideally, no sexual relations at all, as this act causes reincarnation), no eating of meat, fish, or eggs, no consuming of drugs or stimulants such as tea, coffee, cigarettes, or alcohol, and no gambling.

It is therefore essential to lead a regulated spiritual life, that is, one focused on austerity, meditation on Krishna, and constant Krishna consciousness.
