Abandoning of varnasrama- dharma and relinquishing of bodily relations and friends are allowed if it is for the propitiation of the Supreme Lord.

Bhagavad Gita Teachings I
The speaker of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita is the Supreme Lord, Sri Krishna. Gita has universal acceptance. Many learned scholars have translated Gita in many ways, but most of translations are as per their own tastes and motives. Conditioned souls who are not submitted to the Lord cannot understand the real implication and purport of His teachings. They will misinterpret them as per their own ulterior motives and tastes. So, it is not at all easy. Only those who have entered into the heart of Sri Krishna can understand the real implication and significance of His teachings and the purpose of His speech and advice. Outside people cannot understand at all.

Api Cet Su-durācāro..
Sri Krishna says, “If My devotee, due to bad impressions of previous birth, commits the most abominable action but if is engaged in one pointed devotion to Me, consider him a sadhu, a saintly person. Because he will have repentance for that and that fire of repentance will burn all his sins to ashes quickly. He is to be considered saintly because by situating in his determination, quickly he will be righteous and will attain everlasting peace.”

Non-Violence and Love
Non-violence is to refrain from doing injury to others, it is negative, but love is to do positive good to others. If anybody has got pure love to any person, he cannot have the impetus to inflict injuries to any part of the object of his love. If we get love for Krishna, we cannot have the impetus to inflict injuries to any of His parts emanating from His marginal potency. All jivas are interrelated through their relation to Sree Krishna.

There Was So Much Deep Bhajana With Him That You Forgot the World Outside
I was so deeply touched by his whole being. I could say his whole being was only humble. And I felt that he is part of was nothing else but Kṛṣṇa Consciousness. There was a faith and there were no other intentions of realizing something of this material world or anything. Guru Mahārāja was only Kṛṣṇa Consciousness. I had never met a person like him before and I felt a little bit shy also because I saw something so pure.
