Even the Most Sinful Buy Books
One time I took out one of our young Indian devotees from the Sydney temple selling books door to door. He was enthusiastically preaching. We came to a butcher shop and proceeded to walk in the door but the stench of dead carcasses and the sinful atmosphere made him turn right around and walk outside.
