difficult to eat even

Either you become santa or ghora or mūḍha, three kinds of position in this material world... Santa. Santa means in the brahminical qualification; and ghora means activities, material activities, fruitive activities; and mūḍha, just like animal, neither santa nor ghora, simply animal. Udaram bharitaḥ. Svartham udaram bharitaḥ. Svartham, interest, means if one somehow or other fulfills his belly, then he thinks, "Now all my mission is fulfilled." This is called mūḍhatvam. Svartham udaram bharitaḥ. Daksyam kutumba-bharanam [SB 12.2.6]. Generally, in this age, people will be interested to fulfill his own belly. Because that is also very difficult task nowadays. To get sufficient food daily, that is also a problem. And if one can maintain his family in these hard days-family means husband, wife and a few children-then daksyam kutumba-bharanam, then he is just like Maharaja Daksa. Daksa..., daksa means very expert. Those who are maintaining big family, working very nicely, many business, they are called daksa. So in the Kali-yuga, if one can maintain a family, small family, then he will be considered daksa. Daksyam kutumba-bharanam. Otherwise, if one can fulfill his belly only, his all interest is fulfilled. This will be the condition of this age. That means mūḍhatvam, mostly mūḍhatvam. They do not know. Na te viduḥ svartha-gatim hi visnum [SB 7.5.31].    (More...)
