Lord Krishna gives us this advice: “Non-violence, sincerity, honesty, the desire for happiness and well-being of all others and protection from covetousness, anger and greed, are duties for all members of society”.

It is strictly forbidden to kill a wise scholar, a cow, a woman, a child or an old man.

In the glorious days that preceded the coming of the present age, that of discord, strife, hypocrisy, indifference and sin, wise scholars, cows, women, children and old men were all duly protected, and the whole of society benefited greatly.

The protection of wise scholars ensures the maintenance of the organization of the nation, the institution par excellence, since it offers the most experimentally sure method of elevating all members of society on the plane of spiritual life, to the perfection of existence.

The protection of the cow ensures an abundance of the most miraculous of all foods, milk, which refines the subtle tissues of the brain, and thus allows to know the higher values of existence.

The protection of women preserves their chastity and, by extension, the moral purity of society as a whole. Thus can be conceived men of exemplary nature, able to keep society in a state of peace, tranquility and progress.

The protection of the child allows every being who has obtained the human form the best opportunity to take the path that will free him from the chains of matter. The child must be protected from the moment of conception, by the fulfillment of a purifying rite, which marks the beginning of a pure existence.

Protecting the elderly gives them the opportunity to prepare for a better life after death.

This system of protection, which covers the whole of society, is based on the traits that distinguish a civilization of accomplished men from that of even refined animal-men. It is strictly forbidden to kill a wise scholar, a cow, a woman, a child or an old man. In addition, the slightest offense against them has the effect of shortening the existence of who is guilty.

In the present age, these principles are hardly observed, hence the considerable suffering that human beings undergo. From the moment women, for not having been protected, become corrupt, an unwanted offspring is born. On the other hand, he who offends a chaste woman will see misfortune fall upon him, in the form of a reduction in the duration of his life.

These are some examples of the Lord’s uncompromising laws.
