This world is not the place for getting actual peace Time of this material world is divided into four divisions in our Indian scriptures- Satya, Treta, Dvapara and Kali. In western countries, it is generally accepted as Golden Age, Silver Age, Brazen Age and Iron Age. Time duration may vary in Indian and western system. There is gradual degradation of piety from Satya Yuga to Kali Yuga. In Satya Yuga there are four kinds of piety- penance, sanctity, compassion and Truth. In Treta Yuga there are three kinds of piety, in Dvapara Yuga two kinds of piety and in the most deteriorated Kali Yuga only one piety;truthfulness - Holy Name. Therefore most of the people have got criminal propensity. It is due to the fruits of our previous actions, we are getting deteriorated aforesaid environments. Suniti Devi, mother of devotee Dhruva Maharaj, consoled her son by saying that, You must have done in your previous birth, such behaviour to somebody. Through your stepmother Suruchi, you have got now that sort of harsh misbehaviour. The Sanskrit verse – mamangalaa tata parenu maastha bhuikte jano yat para-duukhadas tat Srimad Bhagavat 4/ 8/ 17 O beloved son! Dont blame others for your distress, whatever misbehaviour one inflicts to others, that sort of behaviour will rebound to him. Even Narada Goswami repeated the same verse to pacify Dhruva and advised him to efface all hostile mentalities to anybody in this world and invoke Hari from the core of the heart, all his obstacles would be removed and he would get the objective. Supreme Lord is impartial and equal to all. The special characteristic of Dhruva is that he accepted in total the teachings of his mother Suniti Devi and Guru Narada Goswami. This world is the prison-house of prisoners to get punishment for being averse to Sree Krishna. This world is not the place for getting actual peace or bliss. Sri Krishna has said in the Gita, 7/14- daive hy esa guna-mayi mama maya duratyaya, mam eva ye prapadyante mayam etam taranti te It is very difficult for conditioned souls to surmount My illusory energy (External Potency consisting of three primal qualities- Sattva, Rajah and Tamah. By Rajoguna jivas are born, by Satvaguna they are sustained and by Tamoguna, destroyed). Only completely surrendered souls to Me can be rescued from the clutches of Maya. Here also Krishna has said emphatically that any living being, who will take shelter to His Lotus Feet sincerely, will be rescued. Further it is my advice - You should also utter four pranam mantras of Sree Narasimha Deva, Panchatattva and lastly Mahamantra, while going to bed and rising up from the bed regularly. It will be better to utter instead of doing silently. These holy sounds of the mantras will remove all obstacles and also sanctify the environment. You can get these mantras from devotees. In addition to this, you count Harinam (Mahamantra) on beads as much as you can afford to do, but without tenfold offenses and with absorption of mind. Of course, without counting on beads, you can do Harinam always. His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj
