Well, that certainly sounds like now.  It really doesn't matter how shitty the circumstances for a Bodhisattva, as there's all the time in the world to get better. The harder the times the quicker one can rest on their laurels someday.      ----- Original Message ----- From: Vaj To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, June 04, 2005 6:51 AM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: TMO ishta mantras in India The linga purana gives a nice list--remarkably accurate: -no morality, the sacred books no longer respected, false doctrines will spread. The number of farmers will gradually decline. Working classes will want to take the power of the rajas and obtain the knowledge, lifestyle of the rajas. Most leaders will come from the working class. Fetuses will be killed in the stomachs of their mothers and heroes will be assassinated. Thieves will become kings and kings will be thieves. Women who have relationships with several men will become numerous. The earth produces plenty in some areas and too little in others. Rulers will confiscate property and use it badly. They will cease to protect the people themselves. Base men who gain a little knowledge will declare themselves sages. Priests will degrade themselves by the selling of sacraments. Predatory animals will become more violent. Men of integrity will cease to play an active role. Ready-cooked food will be for sale. The sacred books will be sold on street corners. Young girls will sell their virginity. The god of clouds will be inconsistent in the distribution of the rains. Shopkeepers will run dishonest businesses. they will be surrounded by pretentious, false philosophers. Many beggars and unemployed. Everyone will use hard and vulgar language. No one will be able to trust anyone else. No one will want to return a favor. People will massacre women, children, cows and one another. The number of rajas will greatly decline.. etc... and lifespans are at an all-time low. On Jun 3, 2005, at 11:43 PM, Llundrub wrote: > What's the problem with Kali and Kali yuga?
