“The conception that there are things auspicious and inauspicious in the material world is more or less a mental concoction because there is nothing auspicious in the material world. Everything is inauspicious because the very material mask is inauspicious. We simply imagine it to be auspicious.”
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami,
Bhagavad-gita As It Is: 10.3 Purport
