<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Lecture on SB 5.5.2 -- Johannesburg, October 22, 1975|Lecture on SB 5.5.2 -- Johannesburg, October 22, 1975]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Puṣṭa-kṛṣṇa: We live in sin, so is it not speculation to consider a sinless state?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. If you speculate, then also you will not be in position to understand what is sin and what is pious. Therefore you have to hear from the authority. Just like Kṛṣṇa says, yajña-dāna-tapaḥ kriya na tyājyam: "These four things should not be given up: performing sacrifices, giving in charity, and practicing tapasya." So you cannot speculate. You take the instruction from authority and try to do it. It is not speculation. It is receiving the instruction from the authority.</p>
<p>Guest (2): But because we do not know what sin is, wouldn't whatever the authority said be purely an idea to us?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So they do not know; therefore they must search out if he is serious.</p>
<p>Guest (2): But is there no way of finding out what is good and bad besides obeying guru, and the because to follow the guru would obviously be to create frustration.(?)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm?</p>
<p>Puṣṭa-kṛṣṇa: Is there some way to find out good without following the rules and regulations laid down by the authorities?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, that is not possible. You cannot violate the rules and regulation. That is not possible.</p>
