"So if you keep yourself on the sāttvika platform, there is also chance to falling down on the passion and ignorance. But if you keep yourself in the śuddha-sattva platform . . . śuddha-sattva platform means devotional service. Sattvaṁ viśuddhaṁ vasudeva-śabditam (SB 4.3.23). Śuddha platform means . . . that is called vasudeva. As Vasudeva can beget a child whose name is Kṛṣṇa, similarly, if you keep yourself on the vasudeva platform, sattvaṁ viśuddhaṁ vasudeva-śabditam, then Kṛṣṇa will take birth. Kṛṣṇa will take birth. So our these rules and regulation, restriction, means to keep one on the vasudeva platform. We should remember always that. And if you keep yourself on vasudeva platform, these things will not entice you. Otherwise we shall be enticed and fallen down. Agāma hṛc-chaya-vaśaṁ sahasaiva vimohitaḥ."
