Don't be after these motorcars, television, and all nonsense things, sporting, wine, women. Don't be after these. Simply eat sufficiently, keep your health nicely, chant Hare Krishna, realize Krishna, and go back to home. This is our philosophy.

consciousness, there are four principles: no illicit sex, no
intoxication, no meat-eating, and no gambling. We don't say, "No sex."
But we do say, "No illicit sex." If you want sex, get married and have
Krsna conscious children. "No intoxication" means not even taking tea
or coffee—to say nothing of other intoxicants. And there is no
