All Men are Controlled by Women in Kaliyuga
O
Gosain! All men are controlled by women, in particular, and dance to
their tune like a monkey dances as per his trainer. Sudras give the
advise of spiritual wisdom to brahmins, and wearing the sacred thread
around their necks, take the worst of gifts. All men are taken over by
sensuality, greed and anger. They are opposed to gods; the Brahmanas,
Vedas and saints. Unfortunate wives desert their good looking and
virtuous husbands and attend to the needs of a paramour. The wives whose
husbands are alive wear no ornaments, while widows
adorn themselves in new ways, every single day.
A Guru Who Robs his Disciple is Cast into Hell
The relationship of a
disciple and spiritual preceptor resembles that of a deaf man and a
blind man; one (disciple) does not listen to the teachings of a guru, while the other (guru) cannot see (because he does not understand the identity of the self with the ultimate brahman. A guru
who robs his disciple of money but fails to get rid of his sorrow is
cast into a terrifying hell. Parents call their children and teach them
precisely those means which fill their belly.

People can Kill a Brahmana for Greed in the Yuga of Kali
Men
and women talk of nothing else other than the Knowledge of Brahma; but
for greed they would kill a Brahmana or, their spiritual guide for a few
cowries. Sudras argue with brahmanas and brag that are we inferior to you in
any way? A good Brahmana is one who knows the truth of Brahma, saying so
they glower at them in anger.

The Relationship of the Individual Soul with the Supersoul
They
who are covetous of another's wife, are clever at deceit and steeped in
delusion, malice and worldly attachment. are knowledgeable men swearing
by abheda
or the identity of the individuated soul with the Supersoul. I have seen this
characteristic of the Kaliyuga. Doomed themselves, such people even
ruin those rare souls who tread the path of virtue.
Those who Defame the Vedas Burn in Hell
They who find fault
with the Vedas by reasoning, lie fallen in each hell for a whole Kalpa
(cycle of the duration of the world). People of the lowest rank in
society such as oil-men, potters, the outcasts (who cook and feed on the
flesh of a dog), the kiråtas and kolas or distillers of spirituous liquors, get their heads shaved and
A Sannyasi
enter sannyasa
(renunciation) when their wife is no more in this world and they have lost
their household property.
The Endless Wrongdoings of Kaliyuga
They get themselves worshipped by the
Brahmanas and ruin themselves in this loka
and the other. While the Brahmanas, are uneducated, greedy, lustful,
of bad conduct and stupid; and marry low-caste women of lewd character.
Sudras do all sorts of japa (incantations), tapa or austere penance, and vratas,
and narrate the Puranas from an exalted seat (as of an ascetic) All men
follow a course of conduct as per their own will. The endless number of
wrongdoings cannot possibly be described in words.

Religious Devotion to Lord Hari
In
the age of Kali there is a confusion of castes (due to intermarriages)
and everyone is fallen from sacred norms. They sin and suffer, terror,
disease, sorrow and desolation (from their loved objects). Overcome by
delusion, they walk not on the path of religious devotion to Lord Hari,
which is endowed with dispassion and wisdom, and has the approval
of the Vedas but dream of several new courses of their own.
