Pearls of wisdom -143


People who are lowest among men and bewildered by the illusory energy of the Supreme Lord will give up the original varnâs'rama-dharma and its rules and regulations. They will abandon bathing daily and worshiping the Lord. Abandoning cleanliness and neglecting the Supreme Lord, they will accept nonsensical principles. Not regularly bathing or washing their mouths regularly, they will always remain unclean, and they will pluck out their hair. Following a concocted religion, they will flourish. During this age of Kali, people are more inclined to irreligious systems. Consequently these people will naturally deride Vedic authority, the followers of Vedic authority, the brâhmanas, the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the devotees.

Srimad Bhagavatam - Canto 5 Chapter 6 Verse 10
