Again and again the day comes, and this host of beings is active; and again the night falls, O Pārtha, and they are helplessly dissolved. Again and again the day comes, and this host of beings is active; and again the night falls, O Partha, and they are helplessly dissolved.
(More...) Imported quote 17879 We become debtor to the demigods as soon as we are born on this earth-as a human being, not as cats and dogs. Cats and dogs, they are not debtor to anyone because they have no sense; nonsense. So first of all we become debtor to the demigods-the sun, moon, the Indra, Candra and many others. So how we become debtor? Because the sun is giving sunshine. We are taking advantage of the sunshine. Unless there was sunshine, you could not live even. Sunshine is so important. It is said that little this side or that side of the orbit of the sun makes the whole world frozen or blazing. Sun is so important thing. It has got an orbit. Yasyajnaya bhramati sambhrta-kala-cakro govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami [Bs 5.52].
(More...) When Brahmā's day is manifest, this multitude of living entities comes into being, and at the arrival of Brahmā's night they are all annihilated. When Brahma's day is manifest, this multitude of living entities comes into being, and at the arrival of Brahma's night they are all annihilated.
(More...) The less intelligent jivas try to remain within this material world and are accordingly elevated and degraded in the various planetary systems. During the daytime of Brahma they exhibit their activities, and at the coming of Brahma's night they are annihilated. In the day they receive various bodies for material activities, and at night these bodies perish. The jivas (individual souls) remain compact in the body of Visnu and again and again are manifest at the arrival of Brahma's day. When Brahma's life is finally finished, they are all annihilated and remain unmanifest for millions and millions of years. Finally, when Brahma is born again in another millennium, they are again manifest. In this way the jivas are captivated by the material world. However, those intelligent beings who take to Krsna consciousness and chant Hare Krsna, Hare Rama in devotional service transfer themselves, even in this life, to the spiritual planet of Krsna and become eternally blissful there, not being subject to such rebirths.
