Everyday Life:The Four Regulation Principles..

Friends,

           What i feel about everyday principles ..our friend lord KRISHNA said some works(sinful activities) that should not be done by person in the society .......

                   

Anyone serious about society must try to avoid the following activities:

1.Gambling. Gambling invariably puts one into anxiety and fuels greed,envy and anger.

2.The use of intoxicants.Drugs,alcohol and tobacco,as well as any drinks or foods containing caffeine,cloud the mind,over simulate the senses,and make it impossible to understand or follow truth.

3.Eating meat,fish or egg.these foods are saturated with the modes of passion and ignorance and therefore cannot be offered to lord. a person who eats these foods participates in a conspiracy of violence helpless animals and thus stops his spiritual progress dead in its tracks.

4.Illicit sex.This is sex outside of marriage / sex in marriage for any purpose other than procreation.the scriptures teach that sex is the most powerful force binding us to the world which always act as an a  obstacle to reach our goals....

                                        

Relationship with Krishna

We all have relationships—no one lives in a vacuum—and each of us also has a relationship with the Supreme Person,Krishna. Our basic relationship with Krishna is that of parts to the whole: God is great; we're small. 

He is like the sun, the ocean, or fire; we're like the sun's rays, drops of the ocean, or sparks of the fire.

Ultimately, God is the source of our existence, and we're all parts of His energy. As such, we all have an inseparable relationship with Him.

How we relate with Him is up to us. Most people in this material world are trying to forget God entirely. The Prema-vivartaand other Vedic writings say that we've come here in the first place because we want to forget God, or Krishna, and He allows us to do that. He doesn't interfere with our free will. He keeps Himself out of sight, maintains us at a distance, and provides all our necessities of life while patiently waiting for us to turn towards Him again.
