Symptoms of Kaliyuga and Jewel of Kali yuga!

Verse 1.14.5 (Kasi Prji):

* In course of time it came to pass that people in general became accustomed to greed, anger, pride, etc. Maharaja Yudhisthira, observing all these omens, spoke to his younger brother.
* SP comments: It appears from this statement that all these symptoms of degraded society were unknown to the people of the time, and it was astonishing for them to have experienced them with the advent of the Kali-yuga, or the age of quarrel.
* In our current situation, it is so down that if someone is not showing such symptoms, then we start doubting the persons.
* So many examples in society, politics in India, is just a simple example.
* Unless one comes to devotional service, these attachments to sense gratification will not go down.
* Very important to be in the association of devotees.
* A real devotee does not see another devotee as how I can make use of them. He only sees how he can serve them. From selfishness to selflessness.
* When there is no religion, human beings are considered as animals.
* So many faults in this kailyuga, but there is one gift though: SB 12.3.51 (kaler doshe nidhe rajan...) chanting of the holy name is the most precious gift!
* Symptoms of kaliyuga, as told in this pastime
- ppl become greedy
- u can expect half or less of what u do to others
- ppl are huge amt of income for their sense gratification, but not a small amt too for spiritual things
- one can free oneself from all sins, just by simply chanting the holy name!
