Nobody is interested. If you ask them, "Please come here. We are discussing Bhagavad-gītā, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Just try to understand the self-realization," "Oh, these nonsense, what is this? We are . . . I shall die and everything is finished. That's all." This is the modern civilization. Even up to this time . . . the Kali-yuga has passed only five thousand years, and when . . . if the duration of the whole Kali-yuga is four lakhs, thirty-two thousands of years . . . out of that, we have only passed five thousand years, since the Battle of Kurukṣetra. Now, still the balance is four lakhs and twenty-seven thousands of years. So just imagine, after five thousand years we have become so much deteriorated, and what will happen after four lakhs of years? The people will reduce to such small stature because they will not be properly fed. Just like at the present moment the stature of the body is reducing. It is reducing.
One, my German Godbrother, in 1934, when he came, he was very . . . that Sadānanda. So he was very lean and thin. So I asked him that, "You German people, I understand they are very robust. Why you are lean and thin?" So he told me that, "In my childhood, in the First World War, the ration was controlled. Only children, we could get fat, butter." He showed his wristwatch: "This quantity only, once in a week." So unless people can get sufficient food, how the stature will remain? It is reducing. Now there is no rice, there is no ghee, there is no this, there is no . . . in this way rice will completely finished. No more rice, no more wheat, no more sugar, no more milk. These are stated in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. So if you don't get all these thing, then how your body will be developed? It will reduce just like . . . at that time, eranḍopi drumāyate, the castor seed trees will be considered as very big tree. Yes. Eranḍopi drumāyate.
