This age of Kali is very much dangerous for all the human beings. The human life is simply meant for self-realisation but by the influence of this dangerous time they have forgotten completely the aim of life. In this age gradually people will lose duration of life, memory, finer sentiments, strentgh specially and the list of the anomalies for this age is given in the 12th canto of this great literature. As such it is very difficult for those who want to utilise this life for self-realisation. The question of self realisation is gradually being forgotten and the people are too busy for sense gratification. Out of madness they frankly say there is no need of self-realisaiton because they do not know that this spot-life is but a fragment of our journey towards self-realisation. The system of education is meant for sense gratification and one learned man thinks over it as he sees it that the children of the age are being intentionally sent to the slaughter house of this age. Careful men, therefore, must be cautious of this dangerous age and if they at all want to cross over the dangerous ocean of Kali; they must follow the foot prints of the sages of Naimisaranya and accept Shi Suta Goswami or his bonafide representative as the captain of the ship. The ship is the message of Lord Sri Krishna in the shape of the Bhagwat Geeta or the Shrimad Bhagwatam and one must get on board of the ship captained by such expert as Sri Suta Goswami. That is the introductory note for the persons who want to get rid of the dangers of this age.

The age of Kali is very dangerous for the human being. Human life is simply meant for self-realization, but due to this dangerous age, men have completely forgotten the aim of life. In this age, the life span will gradually decrease. People will gradually lose their memory, finer sentiments, strength, and better qualities. A list of the anomalies for this age is given in the Twelfth Canto of this work. And so this age is very difficult for those who want to utilize this life for self-realization. The people are so busy with sense gratification that they completely forget about self-realization. Out of madness they frankly say that there is no need for self-realization because they do not realize that this brief life is but a moment on our great journey towards self-realization. The whole system of education is geared to sense gratification, and if a learned man thinks it over, he sees that the children of this age are being intentionally sent to the slaughterhouses of so-called education. Learned men, therefore, must be cautious of this age, and if they at all want to cross over the dangerous ocean of Kali, they must follow the footsteps of the sages of Naimiṣāraṇya and accept Śrī Sūta Gosvāmī or his bona fide representative as the captain of the ship. The ship is the message of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa in the shape of #i#Bhagavad-gītā#/i# or the #i#Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.#/i#
