krsna Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Change in the direction of eternal time Maharaja Yudhisthira began to observe many inauspicious omens that indicated a change in the direction of eternal time and caused fear to penetrate his heart. There were disruptions in seasonal regularities, and the people in general became noticeably proud, greedy, angry and deceitful. Many citizens had adopted abominable means of livelihood, and ordinary transactions had become polluted with cheating, even among friends. There was a constant strain of misunderstanding between husband and wife, parents and children as well as between brothers and well-wishers.

The disappearance of Lord Krishna - Canto 1 The thread asks can we beat them. Yes individually but not on a world wide scale. It's like a massive flood is sweeping the area. Can we beat it? No but we can indivdually and in small groups get to higher ground. We escape pride by developing humility, greed by becoming generous, anger by tolerance and deceit by truthfullness.

Krsna prabhu should understand this, in simple language, get off the mental platform and stop seeing the material body as the self, and the material bodies of others as their self. You can be the best cook in the world, but we will NEVER advance until we understand this and the humble words of theist maharaj. :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
