Adam and Eve ate the Fruit of and learnt how to Knowledge differentiate good from bad. They began 'judging' God's creation. They became conscious of their nakedness and covered themselves. They became mortals, destined to toil until the day they died. This story of the Original Sin has profoundly influenced Judeo-Christian traditions.

According to Indian philosophy, man's "Fall" from Divinity comes from Ego. Ego destroys our equanimity and makes us discriminate between what is right (that is beneficial to the Ego) and what is wrong (that is hurtful to the Ego).

Ego is the Forbidden Fruit that has cast us out of Paradise.
