Ādi-līlā, Chapter 8
179
To think that since the Hare Kṛṣṇa  mantra  can counteract all sinful reactions one may therefore go on with his sinful activities and at the same time chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa  mantra  to neutralize them is the greatest offense at the lotus feet of  hari-nāma .
The eighth offense is stated thus:  dharma-vrata-tyāga-hutādi-sarva-śubha-kriyā-sāmyam api pramādaḥ . It is offensive to consider the chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa  mantra  to be a religious ritualistic ceremony. Performing religious ceremonies, following vows and practicing renunciation and sacrifice are all materialistic auspicious activities. The chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa  mahā-mantra  must not be compared to such materialistic religiosity. This is an offense at the lotus feet of the Lord.
The ninth offense is described as follows:
aśraddadhāne vimukhe 'py aśṛṇvati yaś copadeśaḥ śiva-nāmāparādhaḥ
It is an offense to preach the glories of the holy name among persons who have no intelligence or no faith in the subject matter. Such people should be given the chance to hear the chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa  mantra , but in the beginning they should not be instructed about the glories of the spiritual significance of the holy name. By constant hearing of the holy name, their hearts will be purified, and then they will be able to understand the transcendental position of the holy name.
The tenth offense is as follows:
śrute 'pi nāma-māhātmye yaḥ prīti-rahito naraḥ aham-mamādi-paramo nāmni so 'py aparādha-kṛt
If one has heard the glories of the transcendental holy name of the Lord but nevertheless continues in a materialistic concept of life, thinking, “I am this body and everything belonging to this body is mine [ aham mameti ],” and does not show respect and love for the chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa  mahā-mantra , that is an offense.
