A person can be completely engaged in Krsna consciousness business if he is completely sinless. Of course, by becoming Krsna conscious, even there is little tinge of sin, it is evaded gradually. But one should be very alert. It is not that "Because I am Krsna conscious, and by becoming Krsna conscious or chanting Hare Krsna mantra, I am getting out of the jurisdiction of sinful activities..." This should never be thought of. We should be very much alert, because maya is very strong. As soon as she gets the opportunity, immediately captures. So we should be... Therefore it is said, rtam icchatam. Rtam icchatam. So they should try to avoid sinful activities if they actually want relief from this cycle of birth and death. This is the program. So Krsna consciousness movement is in support of this desire. One must be serious and execute Krsna consciousness. Follow the rules and regulation, very simple, and chant Hare Krsna mantra, and they will be saved from Mrtyu, Yamaraja.
