Kali-yuga will make progress in that way. And people are now practicing

eating their children, and at the end of Kali there will be no food

available. They’ll have to eat the children just like the snakes do. The

snake eat their own children. There are many animals—they eat their own

children.

So don’t try to repeat your birth again and again in this Kali-yuga. It will

be not very happy life. Better sacrifice everything in this life and be

fully Kåñëa conscious and go back to home, back to Godhead. Don’t wait for

the next life. This is very seriously repeated, that “This life I shall

finish my Kåñëa consciousness business,” and, as it is stated in the

Bhagavad-gétä, that Kåñëa consciousness business means to understand Kåñëa

rightly.

Second closest match:

 

Then the mother and father will eat his own children. This is world, this

Kali-yuga, everything. No food will be produced.

Hope this helps, Maharaja. Dandavats.
