I remember being present when you were giving darsana in Bhaktivedanta Manor once, and a devotee referred to a passage you wrote in the eighth chapter of The Nectar of Devotion: “The chanting of Hare Krsna is beneficial for eradicating all sins, but if one becomes an offender to the holy names of the Lord, then he has no chance of being delivered.” The devotee appealed to you, that “isn’t there some way of becoming free from these offenses?” You looked at him very gravely and replied, “You are asking this question because you want to offend. Then you want to do something to escape those reactions. But you must stop your offenses. No more offenses.”
