Everything is being done, daiva-coditat, the beginning. But the taste creates the different kinds of fragrance, gandha, smell, within the earth. There is water, there is taste, and taste and formation-either you say chemical or physical changes-it becomes smell. So different kinds of smell there are already within the earth. Simply it brings out by different methods. The scientist does not know.

Krsna says in the Bhagavad-gita, punyo gandhaḥ and papo gandhaḥ. In the material world, everywhere there are two things: pious and impious.
