If we don't follow the injunctions of the scriptures, act whimsically, eat whimsically, act whimsically, then in the future we will not be able to connect with God. And if we don't connect with God then we will have to roam around in the 840000 species of life—sometimes aquatic, sometimes ant, sometimes elephant, sometimes demigod, sometimes human being, sometimes demon, sometimes Brahma, sometimes the worm in the stool. Then we get stuck in janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi (BG 13.9). That's why it is said in the scriputures do pious activities, do good work. If you do good work then heart is cleansed and if heart is cleansed then one can understand God and life becomes successful. sukṛti.
So in Kaliyuga human beings are so fallen that he is not able to perform pious activities according to scriptural injunctions. mandāḥ sumanda-matayo (SB 1.1.10) Their brain power is dulled, mandāḥ sumanda-matayo and manda-bhāgyā (SB 1.1.10) and they are unlucky also. Even if one wants to engage in devotional service he gets stuck somewhere, some demon claims that I am God, he gets stuck with him. manda-bhāgyā. So these are the inconveniences of Kaliyuga. That's why in Kaliyuga the scriputural injunction is that the people are so much fallen that they cannot engage in devotional service and practice. Only one thing should be given to them. What is that?
- harer nāma harer nāma
- ha Purāṇasrer nāmaiva kevalam
- kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva
- nāsty eva gatir anyathā
- (CC Adi 17.21)
In Kaliyuga sacrifice, charity, austerity and activity this cannot be performed by the human beings. Therefore it is said three times, kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva nāsty eva gatir anyathā. All the other injuctions that are there in the scriptures—do sacrifice, do charity—these cannot be performed as human beings are so fallen. So what is to be done? harer nāma harer nāma harer nāmaiva kevalam. All the time only chant, Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
You can see the result. All these western boys who are with me are doing harinama and all that I guide them to do, see how advanced they have become. This is the only medicine for Kaliyuga, bhavauṣadhi, harer nāma harer nāma.
