Five Ways I Am Attracted To The Green Leaves Of The Illusory Banyan Tree

“One who is attracted by the ritualistic formulas of the Vedas is attracted by the beautiful green leaves of the tree. He does not exactly know the purpose of the Vedas. The purpose of the Vedas, as disclosed by the Personality of Godhead Himself, is to cut down this reflected tree and attain the real tree of the spiritual world.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Bhagavad-gita, 15.1 Purport)
