“We can commit an offence to the Lord, we can get forgiven from that offence by chanting Hare Krishna, but then we should avoid committing any offence to chanting Hare Krishna. Just like sometimes doctors go into plague areas and they try to help people who are suffering from epidemics, that’s like the last hope. But then if the people who are the plagued, if they kill the doctor then where is their hope, you see? This is the type of, they call biting the hand that feeds you.”
