| "So you cannot become kṛṣṇa-bhakta and indulge at the same time in sinful activities. Then it will be spoiled. You must be very careful. We have selected, summarized, the essence of sinful activities is illicit sex, meat-eating, intoxication and gambling. This is the essence. If you save yourself from these four principles, then you become sinless. And unless you become sinless, there is no question of kṛṣṇa-bhakta. Rest assured. yeṣāṁ tv anta-gataṁ pāpaṁ, janānāṁ puṇya-karmaṇām, te dvandva-moha-nirmuktā, bhajante māṁ dṛḍha-vratāḥ (BG 7.28). One can be strictly engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness when he's free from all sinful activity."
