Sastra is for all time

[Guest guest]

"So Krsna spoke all these words five thousand years ago. Apart from taking

account of millions of years, because nature's law is the same, so even in

those days, five thousand years ago, you'll find the demonic people as they

are now. These words about the demons... There were demons like Ravana and

Hiranyakasipu, Kamsa. So many demons there were, historical demons. But

their process of life was the same as the modern demons. There is no change.

Therefore sastra means it is for all the time, not that sastra was meant in

the past for something else, and now something else. That is not the fact.

That is, means, sastra, that it does not change. The time, place and

atmosphere, according to that, everything is the same."
