poisonous fruits from Ganga-jala

[Guest guest]

Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura has given a most interesting example, as

follows. The water of the Ganges is always pure and very sweet. On the banks

of that great river, however, there are several types of poisonous trees

whose roots drink up the Ganges water from the soil and use it to produce

poisonous fruits. Similarly, those who are atheistic or demoniac utilize

their association with Vedic knowledge to produce the poisonous fruits of

atheistic or materialistic philosophy.
