Ignorance Causes Sin or Sin Causes
Ignorance?
uploaded

 Is
ignorance the cause of sin? Or is sin the cause of
ignorance? The answer is that both are true. The more
you are ignorant of the distinction between right and
wrong, the more you will naturally be sinful. And the
more you are sinful, the more you will become buried
deeper and deeper upon layers of ignorance. So what is
the solution? You must be fortunate to come into contact
with Krishna's pure devotee who plants the seed of pure
devotion within your heart. If you take advantage of his
merciful, enlightening words, you will be saved from
ignorance and sin.

Question:
Is Initiation Required to Follow Teachings? |
|
|
1. Is spiritual initiation
necessary for a person? I mean if the person is
following all the four regulative principles and reading
Srila Prabhupada's books and following the instructions
given in the books, does he still need initiation?
2. If a person is trying to practice Krishna
Consciousness, but his parents and friends don't support
him or criticize him, then should he walk out of all his
relationships?

Answer: The Teachings Mandate
Initiation |
|
|
Srila
Prabhupada states in his books that initiation is
required. Therefore anyone is following what is in his
books will naturally take initiation. There is no
question of following the books and not getting
initiated.
Everyone needs support for their chosen path of life.
Therefore to make yourself strong in Krishna
consciousness you should associate with devotees as much
as possible. Regular devotee association is the most
important ingredient for a Krishna conscious life.
