Prabhupāda: And the third restriction is no intoxication—no smoking, no drinking, even no tea-taking, no coffee-taking, nothing. These American boys, they are accustomed to all these habits very naturally, but they have given up. They don't take. In our temple there is no tea-taking, no coffee-taking, no cigarette smoking, nothing of this sort, you see. This is the third restriction.
And the fourth restriction is that you cannot take part in gambling or some unnecessary sporting. Because you have to utilize your time. Your time is very short. If you miss this opportunity of human form of life . . . because we do not know when death is coming. It is not that because I am old, I am nearing death, and you are young, you are not nearing death. Who knows that you may die before me? So there is no certainty. So the principle is that because this human form of life is so important to perfect oneself in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he should not waste even a minute. You see? So therefore we don't allow unnecessary sporting. You see? This is simply waste of time.
So no illicit sex life, no meat-eating or animal food, no intoxication, no gambling. So every student has to follow these four prin . . . otherwise I don't initiate. I don't take cheap students that, "You can do whatever you like, and you pay me some money, I give you some mantra, and you become God." I don't say like that. I don't bluff like that. I have not come to earn money from your country, but I have come to your country to give you something sublime, not to take you . . . not to take from you, not to exploit you, but to give you something sublime. You see? So that is the third stage, initiation.
And then, if you are situated in the third stage nicely—that means if you follow the regulative principles under my direction—then the fourth stage automatically come. After this third stage, the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, up to eighth, automatically comes. That is gradual development. So in the third stage, if you follow the regulative principle and chant with some prescribed number, numerical strength, then your all misgivings will be over automatically.
What are these misgiving? The first misgiving is that I am this body. Everyone is under the concept of this body.
