The blue jackal



The blue jackal.
Srila Prabhupada: There is big story about this jackal. I will tell you something. A jackal came in the village and he fell in the tub where, The washerman keeps the water for dipping, making little bluish. For coloring. That blue, blue. So the washerman kept the dye water in a big tub, and the jackal fell in it. So jackal fell in it; he became blue, all blue. So he fled away, and all the animals said, “What is this animal? What is this animal? What is that animal? Oh.” All, even the lion became surprised: “We have not seen this animal.” So “Who are you, sir?” “I am sent by God to rule over you.” “Oh?” So they began to worship him as God, as leader. Then one day other jackals, they were crying, “Waa, waa.” But the jackals cannot stop. If others jackals cry, the jackal cannot stop. So he also began to “Waa, waa.” Oh, then they, “Oh, this rascal is a jackal.” That these rascals are jackals. Now they are talking nonsense. We can detect that “Here is a jackal.” So we have to expose them. They are not leaders; they are jackals.
