''Veda'' says, ''striyaḥ sūnā pāna dyūta yatrā pāpaś catur-vidhaḥ'' ([[SB 1.17.38\|SB 1.17.38]]). Sinful life means these four things: illicit sex-life, intoxication, meat-eating and gambling.

The beginning is these things. So if you avoid these, then your sinful life is stopped, and as soon as your sinful life is stopped, you can realize God, ''yeṣāṁ tv anta-gataṁ pāpaṁ'' ([[BG 7.28 (1972)\|BG 7.28]]).
