| "Just like you have committed some criminal act, and you are presented in the court, and you say, "My lord, I did not know this act; I have committed this. I may be excused. I'll not do this." Then you are excused, there is a . . . "That's all right." But if you are excused and again come back and again do the same sinful activities, criminal activities, and if you are again arrested, then you'll be very, very severely punished. It is a common sense. How people think that "Because I chant Hare Kṛṣṇa or I take the holy name of God or I go to church, therefore I can commit so much sins, never mind. It will be counteracted next week or next moment when I shall chant"? This is one of the gravest offense in chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra. You should always remember."
