| "When you are initiated, you promise, 'No illicit sex, no intoxication, no meat-eating, no gambling'. And if you do privately all these things, then what kind of man you are? Don't be cheater. Be plain. When you promise that 'We shall not do these things', don't do it again. Then you remain in goodness. That's all. Nobody can disturb you. And if you pollute yourself silently, then this goodness will gone. So this is the warning. Once you are initiated on the promise that you shall not do these all nonsense, then you remain perfectly in goodness. Mām eva ye prapadyante māyām etāṁ taranti (BG 7.14). Māyā cannot do anything. But if you cheat yourself, cheat your spiritual master, cheat God, then you'll be cheated by māyā."
