poision

Sri Narottama dasa Thakura has sung: karma-kanḍa, jnana-kanḍa, kevala visera bhanḍa. "The path of karma-kanḍa [fruitive activities] and the path of jnana-kanḍa [speculation] are just like strong pots of poison." Amrta baliya yeba khaya, nana yoni sada phire: "A person who mistakes this poison to be nectar and drinks it travels in different species of life." Kadarya bhaksana kare: "And, according to his body, he eats all types of abominable things." For instance, when the living entity is in the body of a hog, he eats stool. When the living entity is in the body of a crow, he eats all kinds of refuse, even pus and mucus, and enjoys it. Thus Narottama dasa Thakura points out that the living entity travels in different types of bodies and eats all kinds of abominable things. When he does not become ultimately happy, he becomes morose or takes to the ways of hippies.    (More...)
