"So at the present moment the defect is that people are not very serious to understand of Krṣṇa, because in this age, as it is stated in the Srimad-Bhagavat am about the people of this age,
prayeṇalpayuṣaḥ (sabhya)
kalav asmin yuge janaḥ
mandaḥ sumanda-matayo
manda-bhagya hy upadrutaḥ
[SB 1.1.10]
Prayeṇalpayuṣaḥ . People are living not as they used to live formerly. In this age, Kali-yuga, the maximum years one can live: hundred years in this Kali-yuga. Hundred years. In the Dvapara-yuga it was one thousand years. In the Treta-yuga it was ten thousand years. In the Satya-yuga it was hundred thousand years. It is reducing. Kali-yuga means the duration of age will reduce, the memory will reduce, the bodily strength will reduce, mercifulness will reduce. In this way everything will reduce. This is Kali-yuga. Supply of foodstuff will be reduced. This is Kali-yuga. So mandaḥ. Everyone is bad, not full strength. Mandaḥ sumanda-matayo. And everyone has got a sumanda-mata. Mata means opinion or system which is also sumanda. Not only mandaḥ but sumanda. Everyone is manufacturing a type of Bhagavan, a type of religious system. That is not bona fide at all. Sumanda-matayo. Mandaḥ sumanda matayo. And everyone is unfortunate, manda-bhagya, unfortunate in this sense: they do not know what is the aim of life, how human life should make progress."
