Don't Make A Sinning Business - Prabhupada 1004
700222 - Ten Offenses Lecture - Los Angeles
If you have committed something wrong, you go to the court, criminal, and if you say: "My Lord, I did not know this, I mean to say, unlawful. So next time I shall be careful—I shall not do it," then it is excused. But if next time you go to the court and you'll say: "Please excuse," oh, that is . . . there is no excuse. So this confession, once is right, twice is right, thrice is right—fourth time, oh, you are severely punished. That is common sense. So you do not commit sin, because by mistake you might commit some sin, that maybe excused but if you take it a business that, "Because I am chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra, therefore I can commit this sin, there is no reaction," no. That is offense. It is great offense.
