Please therefore, go away immediately towards the northern side without any knowledge of your relatives because just in the near future after this the time is approaching which will diminish man's good qualities.

A life of frustraion can be compensated by becoming a Dheera or leaving home for good without any knowledge of the relatives and Vidura advised his eldest brother to adopt the way without delay. Because very quickly the age of Kali was approaching was also indicated by him. A conditioned soul is already embarassed by the material association and still in the Kali Yuga good qualities of a man will deteriorate to the lowest standard. He was advised to leave home before the time of Kali Yuga approaches, because the atmosphere which was created by Vidura in response to his valuable instructions on the fact of life, may fade away due to the influence of the particular age fast approaching. To become Narottam or the first class human being depending completely on the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is not possible for any ordinary man as it is stated in the Bhagwat Geeta (B.G. 7/28) that a person who is completely relieved of all tints of sinful acts, can alone depend on the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna the Personality of Godhead. Dhritarastra was advised by Vidura at least to become a Dheera in the beginning if it was impossible for him to become a Sannyasi or a Narottam. Persistently endeavouring on the line of self realisation helps a person to rise up to the conditions of a Narottam from the stage of Dheera. Dheera stage is attained after prolonged practice of the Yoga system but by the Grace of Vidura one can attain the stage immediately simply by willing to adopt the means of Dheera stage which is the preparatory stage for Sannyas and Sannyas stage is the preparatory stage of Paramhansa or the first grade devotee of the Lord.

One can compensate for a life of frustration by becoming a #i#dhīra#/i#, or leaving home for good without communicating with relatives, and Vidura advised his eldest brother to adopt this way without delay because very quickly the age of Kali was approaching. A conditioned soul is already degraded by the material association, and still in the Kali-yuga the good qualities of a man will deteriorate to the lowest standard. He was advised to leave home before Kali-yuga approached because the atmosphere which was created by Vidura, his valuable instructions on the facts of life, would fade away due to the influence of the age which was fast approaching. To become #i#narottama#/i#, or a first-class human being depending completely on the Supreme Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, is not possible for any ordinary man.
