To concentrate the mind, one must observe a life of celibacy and not fall down.
One must undergo the austerity of voluntarily giving up sense enjoyment. One
must then control the mind and senses, give charity, be truthful, clean and
nonviolent, follow the regulative principles and regularly chant the holy name of
the Lord. Thus a sober and faithful person who knows the religious principles is
temporarily purified of all sins performed with his body, words and mind. These
sins are like the dried leaves of creepers beneath a bamboo tree, which may be
burned by fire although their roots remain to grow again at the first opportunity.

can immediately dissipate fog by its rays.

Devotees solely engaged in the
devotional service of the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, Nryaa,
never fear any condition of life. For
them the heavenly planets, liberation
and the hellish planets are all the same,
for such devotees are interested only in
the service of the Lord.
