Pranams at the lotus feet
of Gorakhnath Maharaj!
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.”
