Chapter -20

One of the disciples asked Gorakhnathji “ Guruji,  I have a qualm in my mind, kindly clear it.  Are we human superior to all the creatures on the Earth?  Seeing the atrocities of the people on the Earth I feel the Supreme Lord had made a mistake by giving intellect to the human who had become a curse to all other living creatures.  Human beings are selfish, cruel, wicked, and ruthless; the whole world has become a field of their atrocities.  Humans have proved themselves that they are not deserved to be called human.  They are supplemented with pride, jealousy, cruelty, lust, desire, wickedness and ego which is difficult to witness in other creatures on the planet, a human can only be deceitful to his blood relations and parents.  Humans do not think twice to kill human, therefore he is not deserved to be addressed as human, he is a burden on the Earth, and he is a dishonest, selfish, and most intolerable creature on the planet. ” Gorakhnathji said “Son, this Kali era has possessed all the evilness, twice-born will sell their knowledge in order to fill their stomach, they will become selfish, dull, and dishonest.  In fact, this is the appropriate time they have to use their intellect to elevate their soul; even the Supreme Lord must have shedding tears on the wickedness of his creatures, just like parents who shed tears of shame and guilt on immoral children.”    The disciple said “ Guruji, supreme Lord has given intellect to human,  he is engaging in various malpractice and vicious acts, he exhibits himself  as a thief and murderer, he performs shameless deeds, it is rare to find pious people in this Kali era, there are a very few could be called honest and righteous.  If he had supreme consciousness, he would have followed disciplines, right conduct, spiritual and religious rites, Varna and Ashrama Dharma, strict celibacy and he would have control over body and mind which could help him win over senses and death as well, then he would be deserved to be called honorable and intellectual.”  Gorakhnathji said, “ Son, it is the beginning of the Kali era, much more atrocities are waiting to pop up,  whatever unpleasant deeds you are witnessing are nothing,  Son, a human should act  dreadful like demons otherwise the hell  will remain empty.”  Disciple asked, “ Gurudev, You mean to say humans are going to  turn more vicious in the coming ages?”  Gorakhnathji describes the evil effects of Kali era on human, “They keep accumulating sins and  perform all the immoral acts, they  harass women, they sell sisters and mothers, they kill their parents mercilessly, they perform every wicked deeds with swollen pride and arrogance, they act shamelessly, they kill their sisters and take a dip in Ganga, they eat the meat of cow, they follow lies and produce false witnesses to protect them, they disgrace their mothers, they steal the possessions of others without any guilt, they do not follow any Dharmic, Varna or Ashrama rites, they  not even follow the basic manners, they disgrace the worship places and destroy its sanctity.”
