Suppose you are now very happily situated, say, for some years, utmost hundred years. Not that; more than that. Because your this body in this material world, especially in this age, cannot live more than hundred years, or within. And people are dying nowadays sixty, seventy. "Oh, eighty years old? Very old." But time will come in this age . . . that is stated in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam: if one lives from twenty to thirty years, he will be considered as a very grand old man. Yes. That time is coming very soon. Of course, it will take time. Because as the Kali-yuga is increasing, people are becoming more and more pramatta, more and more animal-like. So their duration of life naturally will reduce. They are not human being. They will be mlecchas and yavanas. So Kṛṣṇa will come at the end:
- mleccha-nivaha-nidhane kalayasi karavālaṁ
- dhūmaketum iva kim api karālam
- keśava dhṛta-kalki-śarīra jaya jagadīśa hare
- (Śrī Daśāvatāra-stotra 10)
At that time Kṛṣṇa will not preach, because who will understand? All mlecchas and . . . just like nowadays even also: such a nice quarter, nobody is interested. 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.
So these things are coming gradually. But still pramatta, people are mad after that. The same thing. What is that? Dehāpatya-kalatrādiṣu (SB 2.1.4). They are mad. "We have to maintain the society, friendship, family, country, community." And there is fighting. There is rivalry-ism. Because when there will be shortage of food, shortage of everything, then there will be naturally fighting like cats and dogs, killing. People are indulging in killing even his own son, abortion. Because people are degrading, they are killing live thing. So that will be reacted. In the womb the man, the person, will be killed. Reaction. Why so many abortions are taking place nowadays? Because the child which has come into the womb of the mother, he is sinful. He has done previous life so many killing. Now he has to be killed so many times. He has to be killed so many times, as many times he has killed other poor animals. This is the law of nature. Just like in the state laws, if you kill somebody, the state law will kill him. Life for life. Similarly, God's law, how even if you kill one ant even, you will be responsible for this, and it will have to be punished.
They do not know this. They do not know this. They think that, "I am very well situated. I have got very good balance. I am born in a nice nation," or community or society, "I have got wife, my children. They will give me protection." They will not give you protection. Nobody will give you protection. You have to protect yourself. Everyone is responsible for his own work. Nobody will be responsible for your work.
