We know that serpents are the oldest mythological symbols across the world, as ancestral spirits or divinities benevolent and vengeful. Modern science has indeed proved that snake venom contains healing properties. As we resumed our journey, mother told me a story from the Mahabharata. Once, when he is about to smite a snake, the creature looks straight into his eyes, and speaks words which resound with ghastly prophetic power in today’s world. Was that snake in Eden not tempting Eve, but actually asking her to choose between mere knowledge and true wisdom?
