Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada

Prabhupāda: What is that? Viṣṇujana: Ice cream truck. Prabhupāda: Oh, ice cream. (laughter) You are taking ice cream? Huh? Viṣṇujana: No. They go up and down the street. Prabhupāda: Canvassing? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. Prabhupāda: Don't take ice cream. This is māyā. (laughter) 'Come on, come on, enjoy me. Come on, come on, enjoy me.' (laughs) As soon as you enjoy, you become entrapped. That's all. Just like fishing tackle. They throw the tackle and invite the fish, 'Come on, come on, enjoy me. Come on, come on, enjoy me'. As soon as—ap! (laughter) Finished. Then, (sound imitating fish) 'Where you go now? Come on in my bag. Yes, I'll fry you nicely'. You see? So these are all explained in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. The fish is losing his life by eating, by tongue.
