If you say: "No. We are Christian. We have studied Bible, that is all. We do not touch," I don't think that is very nice conclusion. You remain Christian, but what is the harm to study other literatures where more informations are there? That is quite reasonable. We are not asking you to become Hindus. We simply want to, everyone, that you become God conscious. That is our mission. Our mission is not that to convert. What is the use of converting? If my habits are the same . . . suppose I am Hindu, I become Christian, but my habits are not changed. Then what is the use of becoming from Hindu or Christian or to Christian or Hindu?

Now, our principle is that if you want to understand God, then you must be sinless, because God is pure. Anyone who is sinful, he cannot understand God. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā:

<div class="quote_verse">
:yeṣām (tu) anta-gataṁ pāpaṁ
:janānāṁ puṇya-karmaṇām
:te dvanda-moha-nirmuktā
:bhajante māṁ dṛḍha-vratāḥ 
:([[Vanisource:BG 7.28 (1972)|BG 7.28]])
</div>

That is the secret. You see? If your eyes covered with something, how you can see things perfectly? Similarly, we have got many dirty things within our heart due to our so many sinful activities. That should be cleansed. Then immediately, as the mirror, when it is clean you can see your face nicely . . . but if the mirror is full with . . . overcast with dust, you cannot see. Therefore there is a process. We must adopt this process.
