Indian man (2): Question was, "Why there is a chaotic situation if . . ." I think if I'm understanding him correctly, "Why there is a chaotic situation? If God is to uplift the soul of the all the persons, all the livings, why there is a chaotic situation?" I think that Lord Kṛṣṇa has said that yadā yadā hi glānir bhavati . . . (BG 4.7). That is the answer, guru will say. Why there is a chaotic situation? That is his question, sir.
Prabhupāda: The chaotic situation must be there. Kṛṣṇa says one thing and you do other thing. So why there shouldn't be chaotic condition? You hear Kṛṣṇa, you follow Kṛṣṇa—there will be order. But if you do not follow, Kṛṣṇa says something and you do something . . . Kṛṣṇa says that,
- evaṁ paramparā-prāptam
- imaṁ rājarṣayo viduḥ
- sa kāleneha
- yoga naṣṭo parantapa
- (BG 4.2)
Kṛṣṇa says that this Bhagavad-gītā,
- imaṁ vivasvate yogaṁ
- proktavān aham avyayam
- vivasvān manave prāhur
- manur ikṣvākave 'bravīt
- (BG 4.1)
