Pearls of Wisdom - 172


Sometimes, to mitigate distresses in this forest of the material world, the conditioned soul receives cheap blessings from atheists. He then loses all intelligence in their association. This is exactly like jumping in a shallow river. As a result one simply breaks his head. He is not able to mitigate his sufferings from the heat, and in both ways he suffers. The misguided conditioned soul also approaches so-called sâdhus and svâmîs who preach against the principles of the Vedas. He does not receive benefit from them, either in the present or in the future.

Srimad Bhagavatam - Canto 5 Chapter 14 Verse 13
