Devotional Service To Krishna frees One From Sinful Reactions
We all have a karmic bank account, so to speak. We are suffering because of our past sinful actions or enjoying because of past good deeds. Devotional service to Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, frees the performer from past bad karma. Krishna is pure and powerful like the sun. The sun purifies a contaminated place by its powerful rays, and by Krishna's power we can be purified of sins. When we are completely free from sin then we can get out of this material world of repeated birth and death. So the process is to dedicate our lives to Krishna's service and avoid sinful activity. As per the Vedas the 4 pillars of sin are 1] meat eating (meat, fish, and eggs) 2] intoxication, 3] fornication, and 4] gambling/cheating.
