Man should not be subject to passions and hatreds, as they are like obstacles on the path of self-realization.PURPORT Those who are in Krishna consciousness are not able to remain in material sense enjoyment.
do not have such a feeling must follow the rules of the scriptures without fail. Excessive sensual pleasure leads to physical bondage, but one who follows the rules of the scriptures is not bound by sensual pleasures. For example, sexual intercourse is a necessity for a bound soul. It is permitted with the permission of the marriage bond. According to the injunctions of the scriptures, a man is forbidden to have sexual intercourse with any woman other than his wife. He should consider all other women as equal to his mother. But despite such injunctions, a man still desires to have sexual intercourse with other women. These desires must be suppressed; otherwise they become obstacles on the path of self-realization. Physical body: As long as it exists, bodily needs are permitted along with the rules and regulations. However, we should not rely on the control regarding such permissions. A man should follow those rules and regulations with detachment. Because even enjoying sense gratification with rules makes him feel wrong. There is always a possibility of danger even on the royal roads. Isn’t it! No one can guarantee that there will be no danger on the safe road even if the royal roads are well maintained. Sense gratification has been going on for a long time due to material association. That is why even with regular sense gratification, there is a possibility of degradation. Therefore, interest in regular sense gratification should also be given up in various ways. But interest in Krishna consciousness, that is, working in the love of the Supreme Lord, makes one dispassionate for all kinds of sense gratifications. Therefore, no one should try to become dispassionate due to Krishna consciousness in any stage of life. Ultimately, to be situated in Krishna consciousness is the whole purpose of getting rid of all kinds of sense gratifications
Shreyan – very good; svadharmaḥ – self-respect; vigu – even with faults; paradharmaḥ – more than the duties prescribed for others, svanushthitaḥ; svadharmaḥ – among one’s own duties; nidhanam – destruction; sreyaḥ – good; paradharmaḥ – duties prescribed for others; bhayavahaḥ – dangerous. It is better to perform one’s own duties even with faults than to perform the duties of someone else perfectly. It is better to be destroyed in the performance of one’s own duties than to be established in the duties of others. Because following the path of others is dangerous.
Tilo said.
PURPORT: Therefore, one must perform one’s own duties in complete Krishna consciousness, not the duties prescribed for others. The duties prescribed by the guru for the divine service of Lord Krishna are those that are prescribed by the guru, and whether they are physical or spiritual, one should adhere to one’s own duties even until death, and should not imitate the duties of others. Although the duties in the spiritual state and the duties in the material state are different, the rule of following the standard instructions is always good for the doer. When one is under the influence of the modes of nature, one must follow the rules prescribed for his particular state; he should not imitate others. For example, a brahmin in the mode of goodness is a non-violent person. On the other hand, a kshatriya in the mode of passion is permitted to be violent. It is better for such a kshatriya to perish by following the rules of violence than to imitate a brahmin who follows the rules of non-violence. Everyone should purify his heart systematically, not suddenly. However, when a person is completely immersed in Krishna consciousness, he can do anything and everything under the direction of the bona fide guru. In such a perfect state of Krishna consciousness, a triad can function as a brahmin or a brahmin can function as a kshatriya. In the transcendental state, the distinctions of the material world do not apply at all.
