So anyway, one has to become freed from the sinful activities. Then one can understand. But the easiest method of becoming free from sinful activity is to accept this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Easiest way. Voluntarily give up. It is not very difficult. If the Europeans, Americans can give up, who are trained up in these activities from their birth, if they can give up, what about Indians? So it is not difficult.

. . . natural instinct for sex life, for meat-eating and for drinking. This is natural instinct. But they are restrained. They are co-ordinated by the Vedic injunction, "Yes, you'll have sex life, but you get yourself married." So there are so many paraphernalia for marrying. The subject matter is sex life, everyone knows. Therefore in Western countries they say "Legalized prostitution." But actually it is not prostitution; it is regulating the sex life. So Vedas describe, "Yes. Sex life you have, but marriage."

And then drinking, "Yes. Drinking you may have by worshiping Cāṇḍī, offering him (her) liquor," that is all. Not that you go to the liquor shop and drink. No. Restricted. Similarly, eating meat also: "Yes. You can eat meat. Just worship Goddess Kālī and have a goat sacrifice." So many rules and regulation. Everything is regulated. But they have avoided this. These Vedic injunction they have avoided. Now they have opened slaughterhouse, liquor house, prostitution. That is sinful. It is actually sinful, either you do this way or that way. But if you act according to the Vedic injunction, the sinful activities are restrained. The sinful activities are restrained, so that gradually you come to the spiritual platform. This is the Vedic principle.

So anyway, one has to become freed from the sinful activities. Then one can understand. But the easiest method of becoming free from sinful activity is to accept this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Easiest way. Voluntarily give up. It is not very difficult. If the Europeans, Americans can give up, who are trained up in these activities from their birth, if they can give up, what about Indians? So it is not difficult. Anyone can give up illicit sex life, meat-eating, intoxication and gambling. That's all. So this is the restriction of sinful activity. And chant Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra. If these European, American boys can chant Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra day and night while walking in the street, while going in the car, while in the temple, everywhere, where going to sell books, what is the difficulty for the Indians? There is no difficulty.
