Anyone who commits sin on the strength of chanting the holy name of Viṣṇu, oh, his sinful activities cannot be vanquished even by so much attempt performing sacrifices or penances. No. It is not possible. He's condemned.

Just like you have committed some criminal act, and you are presented in the court, and you say, "My lord, I did not know this act—I have committed this. I may be excused. I'll not do this." Then you are excused, there is a . . . "That's all right." But if you are excused and again come back and again do the same sinful activities, criminal activities, and if you are again arrested, then you'll be very, very severely punished. It is a common sense. How people think that "Because I chant Hare Kṛṣṇa or I take the holy name of God or I go to church, therefore I can commit so much sins, never mind. It will be counteracted next week or next moment when I shall chant"?
