Essence of All Scriptural Injunctions

What is the essence of all the vidhi-nisedha or rules and prohibitions mentioned in the scriptures? The essence of all positive injunctions is to always remember the Lord. This ability to always remember God will lead us to the goal of recognizing Him as our well-wisher, greatest provider, and protector who is very magnanimously inviting all living entities back to their original home in the spiritual kingdom.
