Captian of the Ship: Sri Suta Goswami

Verse 1.1.22: The sages of Naimisharanya are explaining how dangerous the effects of Kali is. People of this age gradually lose their memory, finer sentiments, strength and better qualities. They are in the mode of passion, and with the limited resources present, they are quarreling leading to frustration etc. In this they forget that life is meant for self-realization.

Srila Prabhupada mentions that out of madness they frankly say that there is no need for self-realization because they do not realize that this brief life is but a moment on our great journey towards self-realization. Srila Prabhupada goes on to explain that we should accept the Sri Suta Goswami or his bonafide representative as the captain of the ship that will help us cross over this difficult ocean of Kali.
