Krishna smiled and started explaining to the Pandavas. “Arjuna, what you saw is how the relation between priests and devotees will be in Kaliyuga. The priests will have very sweet voice and great knowledge but they will exploit devotees.
The poor will live among the rich. The rich people will have massive amount of wealth which will keep increasing and overflowing but they will not offer a single penny to the poor ones. They will waste the money for themselves as they have more than what they need but they won’t be sharing it with those who are needy and suffering.
In Kaliyuga, the parents will love their children so much that their love itself will destroy the lives, dreams and the future of the children.
People will fall in the terms of character. They keep crushing and destroying everything on their way to success. Just like the boulder. They won’t listen to anyone. They will be unstoppable. They won’t follow the path of Dharma.
But when they get to know what they have done is against Dharma, when they realize that all they have done are selfish acts, when they call for help from God, they will be stopped and saved from falling further down. They won’t get hurt and they won’t be broken into pieces. Just one call on Godhead’s Name will help them, to hold them from doom...
So, do you all understand how hard life will be in Kaliyuga, and how easy it will be to reach for God?"
