4. Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
 Thus as soon as Mahäräja Parékñit saw that a lower-
class man in the dress of a king was hurting the legs of
a cow and a bull, at once he arrested and punished
him. The king cannot tolerate insults to the most
important animal, the cow, nor can he tolerate
disrespect for the most important man, the brähmaëa.
Human civilization means to advance the cause of
brahminical culture, and to maintain it, cow protection
is essential. There is a miracle in milk, for it contains all
the necessary vitamins to sustain human physiological
conditions for higher achievements. Brahminical
culture can advance only when man is educated to
develop the quality of goodness, and for this there is a
prime necessity of food prepared with milk, fruits and
grains.

5. Krishna Consciousness
and Health
 Thakur Bhaktivinod Says......
sädhana-käle ye paryanta hådaya käma äche se
paryanta varëäçramädi dharmera apekñä thäke
 At the time of practicing sädhana-bhakti, so long
as there is material desire within the heart, one
should remain within the confines of the
varëäçrama system.

6. PURPORT
 The relationship between the aforementioned
varëäçrama-dharma and vaidhi-bhakti ought to be
examined. The question is, is the varëäçrama
institution negated, or should it be abandoned when
one takes to the process of bhakti, or should the rules
and regulations of varëäçrama be followed in order to
properly cultivate vaidhi- bhakti?
 As we have said, the main reason for the cultivation of
varëäçrama is that maintaining the body in good
health, improving the faculty of the mind, promoting
social well-being, and learning the science of the Self
are all conducive to the practice of pure devotional
service.

7. Continued…
 Who can deny the necessity of the varëäçrama institution as
long as the living being is bound up in the human body? If it
is abandoned, and the above-mentioned four principles are
lacking, the jiva will go astray and no good whatsoever will
accrue to him. One should, therefore, strictly adhere to the
rules governing varëäçrama for the sake of the mind,
society, and one's advancement in Kåñëa consciousness.
 But the observance of varëäçrama-dharma is not the sole
business of the jiva. Therefore, with the assistance of
varëäçrama-dharma, one must cultivate pure devotional
service. The purpose of the varëäçrama institution is to
facilitate the practice of devotional service.

8. Continued…
 The question may arise that since the practice of
varëäçrama is a dilatory affair, what will one's duty be
if a conflict arises with one's devotional practice? The
answer is that if one does not maintain and nourish the
healthy condition of the body, mind, society, and the
pursuit of self-realization, how will it be possible to
cultivate the higher endeavor, devotional service? If,
abandoning the varëäçrama institution, one acts
independently, then the demands of the body and
mind will cause one to become intoxicated with
material desire and no sign of devotion will manifest
itself.

Bhakti
