Krishna (Hindu deity)
Yet for all that, despite all these strenuous efforts of the small
spiritual portion of the people to save the souls of their brethren from
succumbing to the dark forces of the age and the allurements of a
material life of undisciplined liberty and license, human society falls
into a mental and material state of chaos, typical of the stage of
complete rottenness of a fruit. As many grains of wheat when ground in a
mill look like one substance, called flour, which means so many separate
grains of wheat have been divided into such minute parts that they
appear as one substance; so, in this most advanced stage of
decomposition of human society, its various and separate composing parts
and phases—religious, racial and material—will be divided into one
whole-looking mass of separate minute units. People's minds, at this
latter end of the age, will be so far removed from the idea and notion
of God and the soul that the Vedas, the Bible and all other religious
books and philosophies that are now extant will disappear, and even the
fact that they had at any time existed will be completely forgotten.
Churches and temples, mosques and synagogues will no more be seen on the
face of the earth, humanity will live for life itself—the grossest
material life. Each individual will differ from the other on all
imaginable points of view on all subjects. Every man and woman will be
his or her own God or ideal. There will be no sympathy between them,
each one asserting his or her independence over all of his or her fellow
creatures. They will think, act, move, eat, sleep as their own wild,
wilful dispositions will prompt causing quarrels and fighting between
another. Selfishness and aggression will the keynote of their character,
the number of Mlechhas and Yavans and outcasted people increases out of
all proportion to the number of the four-caste people who may now be
called the Root Race of the earth. In the process of time this Root Race
of people will cling round the centre of the earth to save their
spiritual instincts, pure ways of living, customs and habits from being
contaminated by association with the strayed portion of humanity who now
form the greatest majority. As, when in the throes of death, through
disease, the only visible action of life is centered in the heart, while
all other parts are numb and comparatively lifeless, so with the advance
of Kali, the spiritual life becomes centered in the heart of the earth.
This heart of the earth is called in the ancient Scriptures the Sea-Girt
Isle or peninsula, the Belt of the Earth's Body—now called India. In
this heart only of the earth live the original four-caste people, while
the rest, broken away and divorced from the parent stock and religion,
are scattered all over the rest of her body.
