Helping Devotees Succeed

[Dr Satish Gosain (Sri Krishna Hari Das)]

NECESSARY FOR SUCCESS

The secondary rules are of three types: rules regarding self; rules
regarding society; rules regarding the afterlife. Rules regarding the self
are of two categories: those for the body and those for the mind. Those
rules to keep a person's body properly nourished so that they can remain
healthy are the bodily rules. Such things as regulated drinking, eating,
sleeping, exercise, and for sickness, prescriptions for cure, are bodily
rules.

If people do not follow these rules, they cannot pass through life smoothly.
If they do not follow the mental rules, their power of realization,
concentration, imagination, contemplation and judgment will be weak and will
not properly function. There will be no advancement in arts and sciences,
and moreover one will not be able to take the mind from material thoughts
and direct it to thoughts of God. As a result, sinful thoughts and atheistic
attitude will dominate the mind; finally a person will become no better than
a beast. Therefore these bodily and mental rules are very necessary for
success in human life.
