Therefore the... Even the big, big karmis who are able to perform big, big costly sacrifices... Karmis, they do big, big. You will find even nowadays... Of course, there is no yajnic brahmanas at the present moment. Still, if you advertise that "Here there will be big yajna," you will get lots of brahmanas immediately: "Oh, there will be yajna." But in the Kali-yuga there is no yajnic brahmana. No yajna will be successful. Krte yad yajato makhaiḥ. Krte yad dhyayato visnum tretayam yajato makhaiḥ [SB 12.3.52]. Makha means yajna. You cannot perform yajna now. It is not possible. Where is the ghee? Where is the grain? People are starving without food grains. How you can... Formerly tons and tons of food grains, ghee were sacrificed. That is yajna. So this is not possible. Up to Treta-yuga it was possible. Krte yad dhyayato visnum. Meditation, this is a farce. So many foolish people, they are misled by other rascal: "meditation." What meditation? Meditation is so easy thing? Valmiki Muni meditated for sixty thousands of years. Then he got perfection. So who will get that opportunity? It is all farce. Meditation is farce. Yajnic, the so-called yajna, is also farce because there is no yajnic brahmana.
