Now, Arjuna flatly says that, "My dear Kṛṣṇa, the process which You have described is very nice process. But so far I am concerned, I admit that it is not possible for me. It is not possible." Now, we have to think that, "What was not possible for Arjuna in such favorable condition, and five thousand years before, how it is possible for me, a teeny living entity, and disturbed by so many things at the present moment. My . . ." Kṛte yad dhyāyato viṣṇum.
They used to live for ten millions of years, and it is very difficult to live for fifty years or sixty years at the present moment. Utmost, a man lives up to eighty years. That's all. Then again, we are not such much advanced. We are always disturbed in our circumstances. There is disease; there is war; there is pestilence; there is famine—so many disturbances.
So our duration of life is smaller, and at the same time, we are disturbed, and we are not intelligent, and we are unfortunate at the same time . . . moment you will find, eighty percent people, they are unfortunate. If we compare what is fortune or misfortune, then we'll find, in every country, eighty percent people, they are unfortunate, and therefore this world is getting to Communism, because they are fighting. They are fighting. So this is the condition of the present day.
How can you perform this such difficult process of yoga which was refused by Arjuna? That is my proposal. It is not possible. If you are attempting such difficult process in a pseudo way, then you can be satisfied in your own way. But you will never achieve success of the yoga system. You must know it clearly.
