Sexual life is the root of material slavery, for it forces the soul to reincarnate and prevents its entry into the spiritual world. This is why the Lord advises us to abstain, especially if we wish to put an end to the cycle of reincarnation and enter His eternal kingdom.

Whoever offends a great soul will suffer, and whoever blasphemes God will be severely punished.

Whoever blasphemes Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, will be punished. One should never seek to worship or venerate Lord Krishna in a hostile manner, otherwise one will be punished for at least one lifetime, in order to be purified. Just as one should not bring about one's own death by embracing an enemy, a tiger, or a snake, one should not blaspheme God, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and become his enemy, lest one go to hell.

Let us understand that even an enemy of the Lord can be saved, much less his friend. Therefore, let us refrain from blaspheming Krishna or any of his plenary emanations, for they and Krishna are one in thought, word, and deed. Whoever does so will go to hell, along with his ancestors.

Lord Krishna declares to this effect: The envious and the evil-doers, the lowest of men, I plunge into the ocean of material existence in various forms of demonic life. These people, by being reborn life after life among the demonic species, can never approach Me. Little by little, they sink into the most abominable condition.

One who blasphemes the Supreme Lord will have to be reborn in a family of demonic unbelievers, where they are likely to forget the Lord's service.

Lord Krishna adds: The mudhas (stupid and wicked people, devoid of true intelligence, and having no other purpose in existence than sense gratification), the villains, blaspheme the Supreme Lord because He appears in the guise of an ordinary man. They know nothing of His infinite greatness.

Whatever those who behave as enemies of the Lord, as the virulent atheists do, will find all their efforts unsuccessful. If they aspire to liberation or to merge into the existence of the Impersonal Supreme Spiritual Being, the only aspect of God known to believers on earth, if they wish to rise to the higher planetary systems as inveterate materialists, or seek to return to God, to their original abode, they will certainly find all their efforts frustrated.

Indeed, a man's misconduct has repercussions for his entire family.

He who offends a great soul will have to pay the price, and so will his family members.
