Five Levels Of Consciousness

In this track, Nitya Gopal explains that all living entities are spiritual beings whose experiences are dictated by their level of consciousness, which ranges from the "covered" state of plants to the instinct-driven "shrunken" state of animals. Although humans possess a "budding" consciousness capable of seeking a higher spiritual purpose beyond basic survival, the speaker notes that most people remain distracted by worldly desires and rituals.

Consequently, only a minuscule fraction of humanity actually pursues true spiritual evolution by asking existential questions about their true identity and life's ultimate purpose.

So today we will be discussing different levels of consciousness. So yesterday we discussed about how to start hearing Krishna's voice. And we discussed that Krishna is always trying to speak to us. But it is we who has to tune ourselves to the Krishna's frequency to be able to hear Krishna's voice. So it is pretty much connected to the previous topic what we are discussing today. But in a more depth, More detailed, In a more deeper way dwelling in this understanding. So basically it is said that we are all spiritual being having the human experience. So how many of you think that we are human being having a spiritual experience? How many of you think that we are human being having a spiritual experience? Or we are spiritual being having a human experience? So are we human being having a spiritual experience? Or are we spiritual being having a human experience? Spiritual being having a human experience. Yes, So we are spiritual being having a human experience. So Krishna explains in the Bhagavad Gita, Abhinashi tatatvidhi yena sarvam vidam tatam That experience of a person is happening because of the presence of consciousness. A robot, A mobile phone, A recorder may hear and see me. But there will be no experience. There will be no observation. So me as a person is able to observe, Is able to experience. Whatever is going around me is because of presence of consciousness is because of me. I'm able to see, Touch. Smell, Taste and hear. That is a spiritual being faculties is spiritual being facilities. So if it is me who is having a human experience. So there are some spiritual being having a bird experience. There are some spiritual being having a peacock experience. There are spiritual being having a tree experience. There are spiritual being having a tiger experience. So if different is spiritual being having different type of experiences, What differentiates them? Although we are all same is spiritual being. But what is a differentiating factor which differentiate the human experience versus animal experience? Intellect. Intellect. Okay. Sometimes the animals are more intelligent in different ways. And sometimes, You know, Human being themselves. There are same looking the same experience. Same human being. Different human being having the same experiences may have different intellect or may have same intellect. Sometime. Let's say if everybody have a same IQ in a room. Let's say 10 people have same IQ. Do you think all of them will be having same experience of life? No. So our experience is not dependent on IQ. It is dependent on something else. So what do you all think? What differentiate the experience we have as a spiritual being into different species? The differentiating factor is how much evolved the consciousness is. For example, So there are five levels of consciousness. The first level of consciousness is known as covered consciousness is known as achadita avrita consciousness. This achadita, This covered consciousness is mainly found in trees and plants. The trees and plants and stone. Sometimes the mountains also have consciousness. The tree also have consciousness. They can smell and they can see the trees can see by the way. So whenever you try to distract or try to obstruct the path, The growth of a plant, They would naturally turns toward other side. You would experience it because the the the Subhash Chandra boss in 1990s. He had discovered by an experiment that our plants can see and can feel. Can feel the touch of air. So plants and the trees can experience consciousness, But they are able to experience the life at a very, Very minimal level. Only by seeing and only by touching. So that is known as avrita or covered consciousness. So when it moved to the next level of consciousness, It goes to sankuchita. Sankuchita consciousness means shrunken consciousness. Shrunken consciousness means there is a little more higher level of consciousness than plant, But still it is very shrunk. And where do we find such a consciousness? We find that kind of a consciousness in animals. Like a verse comes in Padma Purana that there are. 20 lakh different types of plants and trees, 20 lakh different types. Based upon minute minute differences in their consciousness and after that comes the animals. So now somebody can say what is what is like wrong with having animal consciousness? There was once a person I was kind of speaking with him and he was saying that, You see, We try to make so much of differentiation between animals and humans. So for me, I'm an animal lover and I do not see any difference between animal and human. And he even extended himself to say in next lifetime, I want to become tiger. In next lifetime, I want to become dog because dogs are so loving. I love I go to my house and nobody asks about me. Nobody comes to me, But my dog comes running towards me, Hug me, Love me and caresses me. I want to become dog. So if you were to logic with this person or if you were to just say agree or disagree, What would you say? What is wrong in becoming dog? Because after all, They are conscious being having a different type of experiences. So what's what's wrong with them? Why do we vilify them so much? So what do you think? That what's wrong with animals? Why we have to vilify their life? And there are some people who likes to become animals. And so what's wrong with them? Animals don't animals don't have these ignorance or ego or any like, You know, They are more loving than the human beings. Because humans are covered with all the things like, You know, Which is not required in the in the life. The hatred. Yeah. So what you're saying is that sometimes it's better to become animal than to remain human. Okay, So what's the actual difference between the human being and animal is see if there was to be a dog in this particular room. And all of you are hearing and let's say different dogs or different cats at your places are hearing me. Will they be able to really understand what we are talking about? Different level of consciousness, Consciousness, Human being, Animals, God, Hearing God's voice. Do you think they will be able to comprehend what we are talking about? They lack spirituality. They lack spirituality and they lack a specific function which differentiate human being that is to understand the purpose of life. Their life is governed instinctly only because of having to fulfill their survival strategies. For them, Only thing what matters is shelter, Food and water. Any source through any source, They're able to receive this shelter, Food and the water. They will become loving toward that person. So their love is not coming out of their heart. Their love is coming out of because they're dependent on you. They're dependent on you for their survival strategies, Survival instincts. So because of that, Their consciousness is very, Very completely covered, Like very kind of shrunken consciousness. So from plants, You move to, So even like say plants are not able to express those feelings what animal can express. But animals are able to express those emotions, Those feelings because of the survival instincts. Because they have something to receive from you. They need to be protected by you. They need water from you. They need food from you. They need shelter from you. So that's second level of consciousness. And the third level of consciousness is Mukulita consciousness. Mukulita consciousness means like a budding. Budding means starting to come out. You know, Like the completely covered consciousness, Avrata consciousness. Second level of consciousness is Sankujata consciousness, Which is kind of shrunken and not contracted. The third level is budding, Is starting to come out, Mukulita consciousness. So Mukulita consciousness actually means that all their sense perceptions are very active. So mostly human beings. Here comes very interesting point. So human being, It is said that we have 4 lakh type of human beings. You might have all heard, Right? There are 90, 84 lakh kind of species. Overall, We say Charasilak Yonia. I'm sure all of you would have heard at different times. Right. So out of this 84 lakh species, The 4 lakh species is of human species. So now if you can say, OK, 4 lakh species are human species. So now is different people having human experience are experiencing life in a similar way. So what do you think? So we have different type of human beings to interact with different type of human beings. And human being, When I say they have two hands, Two legs, They look like human being, Male or female. So when male and female, They look alike with certain distinction in their physical structures. So do you think that all the different human beings experience life in a similar way? No. They experience life in different way. So what is this differentiating factor here? Again, In human itself, In human life itself, The differentiating factor between different types of human beings is to what degree their consciousness is evolved. So, For example, It is said that out of 84 lakh species, 4 lakh are human being, Around 5%. So 5% of the total collective consciousness on this planet Earth, On this planet, On this whole universe is 5% is human species. And it is said among human species also, There are huge percentage of human species who does not believe in God. Who are completely uncivilized, Who don't have any civic manners. And among them comes, There are so many people living in the Amazon forest. And they celebrate the death of their grandfathers. So that they can feast on their grandfather's body. So can you imagine? There exist human being on this planet Earth who are celebrating their grandfather's death. Because they get to, They enjoy the feasting on the grandfather's dead body. There are also human being. But what degree of consciousness they have, What kind of evolution they have, What kind of thinking they have, What kind of lifestyle they are leading is completely uncivilized. It is said that only 5% of that 5%, 5% of the 5% of human being actually are theistic. They believe in some higher power, They believe in some higher nature. They believe there exists God. There is somebody who is looking on top of you, He is in control and he is the one who is master of everything. Only 5% of this 5%. So how much is 5% of 5%? It is 0. 125%. So only 0. 125% actually are able to understand that there exists some higher power we need to worship now. Out of that 0. 125%, Most of the people are kind of distracted in enjoying life. And they think that by praying to the God, By doing certain rituals, By doing certain processes, We can fulfill our desires. So again, It remains about me. How can I use the different worship methods to get satisfaction from my own self? So most of the people, Even though they believe in God, They have that Sukh Sampatigar Aave. All the prayers are about how can I attract wealth, How can I attract good people, How can I attract good house, How can I attract richness in my life. More or less. So only 5% of the people understand that it is not about me, It is about God now. Let me also start sacrificing something for God's purpose. So only 5% of this 0. 15% start appreciating being grateful, Start sacrificing something for the higher cause. Like there are people who like to give charities, There are people who like to do good to people, There are people who like to sacrifice their time, Their wealth, Their energy, Their intellect for a higher purpose. It becomes 5% of this 0. 125%. How much it remains? 0. 0625%. So 0. 0625% of the people of the whole level of consciousness is only sacrificing something for the higher cause. Okay, Let us move further. So out of these people who are kind of sacrificing results for the higher purpose, Only few of them really start understanding who am I? What is the purpose of life? What am I supposed to be doing after this lifetime is no more existing? What is my destination after this lifetime? What is my position in the whole universe? Why do I exist? Why do other people exist? Why do karma exist? Why it is happening to me? The thing it is happening to me. Is there any other world? Is there any other dimensions of life? So when you start, When these questions start penetrating your mind, That is when the filter happens. The filter is again the 5%. Only the 5% of this 0. 0625% is actually able to have this penetrating questions. Able to have this very distinct, The fine intelligence to be able to differentiate who am I as a spiritual being and what is this body? So again, Like how much is like 5% of 0. 0625%? You can just calculate 0. 0003% maybe. And again, Out of these people who are actually able to think in those lines, Only a 5% of this spectrum. Is able to. Is able to realize themselves as a spiritual being. And that helps us taking to the next level of consciousness, Which is known as vikasit consciousness, Blossoming consciousness. Blossoming consciousness means who are practicing some spiritual life to realize themselves as a spiritual being. Like what we are doing right now is discussing from Bhagavad Gita, Discussing from the Vedic literatures to be able to understand what is happening around me. What is the purpose of life? What am I supposed to be doing? So have able to have this comprehension ability to be able to make those finer distinctions in our life. Intelligence is defined by having finer distinction. So the more we are able to finally distinct between people, Between emotions, Between the thought processes, Between myself and this body, The more we are actually gradually evolving in our consciousness. So now the 5% of this 0. 003% who are able to realize themselves actually start serving the Lord. Actually start serving, Identifying and reaching to the God. I mean, Till now it was about separating the spirituality and finding myself and able to see that I'm a conscious being. I am not this body is a very rare person. And Krishna himself explains in the Bhagavad Gita. Krishna saying that after out of thousands and thousands of thousands of people, Only one will try to seek the truth. Only one person out of millions of person will try to see that what is his spirituality? Who am I? What is the purpose of life? And out of them who are searching for this truth, If you are to have them collectively bring them together. Even out of them, Only one person will be able to understand the reality of life. So then it moves to the next level that to be able to start identifying what is my source? Who is my source? So Krishna is my source. I'm supposed to be serving him. I'm supposed to be chanting his name. I'm supposed to be connecting to him and dedicating my life only for his purpose. So how much percentage it is? 5% of 0. 00001%. So in that sense, 99. 999% of the people of this population are not bothered about who is God. In real sense to be able to connect to him, Not for wanting anything from him. Not approaching him out of fear. Not approaching God out of duty. Not approaching Krishna out of wanting something. But actually approaching Krishna out of love. Actually approaching Krishna out of wanting to give back something to him. Actually approaching Krishna to know that he's my source. I'm connected to him. Let me reconnect myself back to him. So if we as a human being are able to come to this point of being able to understand Bhagavad Gita. Be able to understand that what is this purpose of life? Then we actually are the top 0. 00001% in the whole spectrum of consciousness. And the purpose of life is to maintain that and to keep upgrading our consciousness higher and higher. But if we also act, If we also use our higher facilities, What we have been given only for four purposes. Eating, Sleeping, Mating and defending. If we only uses our human form of life only for these four purposes. That is to eat. Different ways, Different sophisticated ways of eating. Animal also eat and the satisfaction what animal gets after eating. It is same what we get after eating. Because after it, The food passes through your throat. It all same process after that. The digestion process is same. It is going to become same thing. Stool. Isn't it? So just because of the taste bird, It may give you some distinction. Okay, This is salty, This is sweet. You can have this distinction. But if we spend all of our energy just for this one purpose. Are we really justifying this great facility of human life which is being given to us? If you're using this such a profound understanding about life just to gain some nice sleeping, Good facility for sleeping. Are we justifying the great potential we all of us have as a human being to be able to uplift ourselves to the higher and higher level of consciousness? And to really transcend the whole material creation just for eating, Sleeping, Finding your mate and defending and being fearful about life and protecting yourself. How much of our energy is consumed in this survival survival instincts? And how much of my energy is actually being used for what it is was it was blessed to us. So we move through the five S. First S is survival survival instincts. We all have this survival survival instincts and survival instinct as the animal has. Then we move to the next level stability. Okay. Now I don't have to worry about eating, Sleeping and mating. There's all taken care. I have sufficient money sufficient means to take care of it. I don't have to constantly keep thinking like animal things. I'm I have some stability in those regards. So from survival you come to stability and from stability. We move to the next level which is to okay. Not everybody is happy having a stable life. They have a deep desire to become successful in their life. Successful in different ways. I mean, I want to become successful like as a husband. I want to become successful as a wife. I want to become successful as an entrepreneur. I want to become successful as a doctor. I want to become successful as a lawyer. There has to be success. I should be tasting success. In that way, Don't think about eating, Sleeping, Mating. Your energy is not consumed. Their energy more consume out success. How can I be successful and from success? We want to okay. We are successful now in the people's eyes. What legacy? What significance are we going to create? How people are going to remember me? Leaving a legacy. You see moving from survival to the next level of stability. The third level of success to the fourth level of significance and the fifth level is known as spirituality. Spirituality is what truly human life is given for. So if in human form of life, We are not understanding about true principles of life about spirituality about what Krishna is saying about developing that interest to let me figure out from the Bhagavad Gita. What is Krishna's trying to teach me? If we are not interested in that and only interested in lower things is still there is a lot more to develop in our own level of consciousness. And the thinking sometime people say that what about thinking people think so differently. Sometime people think so mean sometime people think about sword when we have talk among different people's so the cheap talk they're having. I mean, They're just talking about backbiting backbitching talking about this nonsense thing somewhere. I don't feel I'm in the right place. Does it happen with all of you? I mean any of you that you feel you're at the wrong place when you start hearing about what people think about life. Yes. So why do you think it happens? It is because the different levels of consciousness produces different type of thinking. So thinking anybody who have any kind of thinking is because the lower and higher level of consciousness. If you have a higher level of consciousness automatically, You have a higher type of thinking. The thinking is to help other you become more compassionate you become more kind. So all the good quality whatever we want to develop in us. It all comes to us automatically by upgrading our consciousness. It says yes. When we start gradually becoming more and more Krishna conscious the highest level of consciousness is to be conscious of Krishna is to be aware that how Krishna is providing me everything how Krishna is maintaining this world how Krishna is my source how Krishna is trying to love me and trying to bring me back to his abode. The more and more we become aware of Krishna consciousness automatically all these wonderful good qualities good thinking good habit will start manifesting in our personality. The shortcut of expediting ourselves in this in this different levels of consciousness is to fulfill the human life is to go more and more closer to Krishna. The more we become close to Krishna the more we are chanting Krishna's name and the best way to keep Krishna closest to you is by chanting his holy name. So by chanting Krishna's name we like a magnet is pull our consciousness from lower degrees and like an elevator, You know, We don't have to go if you are to go to the hundredth floor it take long time to cross the stairs go to the first floor second floor, But if you can find us lift, Which is working you are in the lift. It just takes you directly to the hundredth floor. In no time. Similarly when we are chanting Krishna's name out of our heart we are every day. We are going more and more closer to Krishna. We are at a elevator elevator of. Elevating ourselves at a very fast speed in different layers of consciousness. So if you were to ask me personally what has worked out for me, I was not having this kind of a thinking this kind of a consciousness 15 years back. If the I was not chanting Krishna's name if I was not reading bhagavad-gita if I was not associating with devotees, I would be maybe at a much much lower level of consciousness. I would be doing same thing what other people does of fighting for the eating sleeping and mating and defending. The only differentiating factor in my life in the last 15 years is only chanting Krishna's name. That is what I can share with all of you that that has has worked out for me that has worked out with so many devotees and that is what is being given in the Vedic literatures by keeping Krishna more and more close to us. We're actually on the fast track fast track route of. Expanding our consciousness from the animalistic consciousness to the highest level of consciousness. From this Achaadita Sankuchita and Mukulita Viksita to Purna Viksita Purna Viksita is the highest level of consciousness, Which is like fully blossomed and acting out of my highest potential right now. The soul is not acting out of the highest potential. The soul is acting out of very low potential. Let's see if the soul has hundred percent capabilities. The soul even in this human form of life is not operating even with 2% of potential. You can just imagine the most intelligent person in the whole world. Whoever you would could be is only utilizing 1% of the soul's potential. If we were to expand and to is to access to our highest potential as a soul. Also, It is said that week if you were to collectively bring hundred like thousand sons together. You see how much is potential in one son. One son is able to give life to the whole universe and the highest potential the soul has is if you were to combine thousands of sons potential together. That is a soul's potential. So if we want to really access to our greatest potential depends what layer of what level of consciousness you are the more higher level of consciousness the more we will be able to access to our higher potential and the more we will be able to do justice to our true human form of life. So that is what we can understand from this 5 level of consciousness and the way out of developing this. All different type of consciousness to the highest level of consciousness. So we'll conclude here. If anybody have any doubts any questions anybody would like to share anything any comment. We just open for that right now. So any comment any questions any any share any realization anything you would like to share what struck you what kind of moved you what you were to take it forward with yourself. Today's topic is a little bit complicated for me probably but overall I end result is you know like pray to God every day. I mean chanting name. Yes. It's a little complex. The same time if you were to ask me in a very simplistic understanding that we have a potential that we have never access to who we are in reality. We are we have no idea who we are. We have no ink. We have no no understanding how much great potential we have and by practicing is spiritual life seriously we can start accessing to our own true potential. So probably what are your comments on people say no like and if you're going through difficulties in your life you need to do do this you know like do prediction or do some tree bunny entry or don't do this do that compared to just chanting Krishna's name. Yeah. So for example, I will share an example if let's say you Lakshmi have four daughters. Let's see or you have one daughter but let's say you have four daughters. So one daughter is very scared of you. So she follows your instruction whatever you say because she's very fearful of you or if I don't do my homework my mama is going to beat me up. If I don't do this my mummy is going to punish me if I don't do that that my mama is not going to give me food. Okay, That's one daughter second daughter is okay. I am not fearful of my mother. But if I serve my mother then I am my mother is going to give me something. My mother is going to give me some money some reward some whatever but she's obeying you because she wants something from you. First daughter is very scared of you. That's why she's obeying your instruction second daughter is that she wants something from you and that is why she's obeying your instruction. She's following whatever you're saying third daughter. She understand. Okay, I don't I'm not scared of my mother because she's very loving and I don't want anything from her but I just want to serve her because she has given me so much. She has given me birth. She has given me so much of she has made me capable person. She has given me so much in my life. I'm so grateful. Let me serve my mother. Only out of duty and duty bound to serve my mother. Third daughter and the fourth daughter the fourth daughter says I don't care about punishment from my mother because she will never punish me and I don't want anything from her. I just wants to be with her because I love her so much. I just wants to be with her because she loves me so much. I just wants to follow whatever she's saying to me because that enhances the beautiful reciprocation between both of us. So you have four daughters Lakshmiji, Which do you think would be the most dearest to you? The fourth one. The fourth one. Why? Because she does not want anything from me. She just feeling my affection. She just want my affection. Yeah. Yes. She just wants her affection. Similarly, We also as a as a as a child of God can approach Krishna in four different ways. Oh, I want to approach God because if I don't follow Allah then he's going to cut all of us. If I don't follow this then Allah is going to burn to us in the hell. Out of fear approaching God out of fear. Oh, Let me pray to go to church pray to Jesus so that I can get something from him. Give me my daily breads. Please give me something. It's approaching God but out of wanting something. Oh, Let us go to this theater that theater because if you do this, That is a purpose of life. Let me do my duty of human form of life. Let me worship third level. But whenever we approach Krishna out of sheer love out of sheer affection out of sheer gratitude. He's the one who has given me everything in my life. Let me dedicate let me chant his name out of love because I'm not chanting his name to want anything from him. I'm just chanting his name because it gives pleasure to him and it helps me connecting to him. So now circling back to your question, Which do you think is is better is approaching God. I mean chanting his name out of love or to circling around Ben and treat to avoid something or to get something. But that's what we were taught, You know, Like if you're having difficulties in your life or you know, If sometimes the bad period is going on in your life. So you need to do like, You know, Give the money to prison. So they'll do puja for you home or, You know, Do protection or to bunny and tree or, You know, Leaked on like, You know, Seven Saturdays. You need to do fasting and pray to God. We were brought up like that. Yes. Yes. They're all brought up like that. Even in fact, I also was brought up like this till the time I understood if I am being surrounded by the love of the Lord, Then no problem can really touch me. If I'm connected to the Supreme Power Supreme powerful being in the whole creation in the whole universe is is spiritual and material. What problem can really touch me? It's like it's like saying, Oh, I have a million dollar, But I'm worried. How would I pay my hundred dollar debt? If you have a million dollar, Will you be really cared about? You have hundred dollar debt or do you have to give hundred dollar to somebody? No, I don't know. Some people like, You know, Few people tell what you're telling me, Like, You know, Just pray to God. He'll take care of all the things in your life. You need to believe. Some day it comes and goes into my mind. Maybe by praying every day, I need to strengthen my spiritual life, I believe. Yes. Yes. So that is what I meant. The level of consciousness is dependent. How much you can surrender? The one level of consciousness is I want to approach God, But only approach out of fear. But one level of consciousness is I want to just serve the Lord out of sheer love, Out of gratitude, Out of affection, And he will take care of everything. That faith and that is being earned, That is being developed by practicing spiritual life. When we constantly practice spiritual life by chanting Krishna's name, By associating with devotees, By reading Bhagavad Gita, By worshiping the Lord, By surrounding yourself with that kind of an atmosphere, It helps you slowly, Slowly uplifting your consciousness. And once your consciousness is uplifted, Then you don't have to worry about small, Small thing. You will naturally think like this. So this natural thinking process will evolve based upon the level of consciousness. That's the whole essence of our session is a level of consciousness depends what level of consciousness we are, That kind of thinking we will generate and that kind of faith we will have. And that is how we will approach Krishna. Out of fear, Out of love, Out of wanting or out of, You know, Out of love. Does it make more sense for you now? Yeah. I just need to practice praying to chanting God's name every day. But I, At least to me, I get carried away with my works or sometimes, You know, Oh, You know, God is, You know, I shouldn't say this, But my thought process and anyway, God is, God is not a human being. I mean, He's not like, If God is like a human being living, Walking God, Then I would be scared. Oh, I didn't pray to him today. But it's in, It's in the puja room. He's not punishing me. You know what I'm saying, Prabhuji? Basically we don't have fear. How does it really make difference if I don't pray to him one day? It doesn't make any difference to my life. It's like, It's like, It's like not giving importance and not creating urgency out of it. So tomorrow you will be having a good life. But what is the guarantee? Hundred percent guarantee. And he can just, I'm sorry if I'm a little triggering, It could be a little triggering, But what is the guarantee that tomorrow you will be alive? You're a doctor, Right? You know, At any point of time, Anything can happen. Is it not like an urgency? What is, What is going to happen to me in the next lifetime? And what decides in which lifetime I'm going to be taking birth in? What is going to be my situation next lifetime? Yeah. So creating urgency and understanding its importance is very, Very crucial thing, Right? I mean, When you go to, When you study your MPPS, Your, Your medical degree, You know, You only have four years. If you don't study today, Then you're going to fail and you're not going to pass an exam. Right? The sense of urgency and importance, Because you know, It's very, It's very, Very evident to you. Similarly, When slowly, Slowly, Slowly we expand our consciousness, Move from this Sankuchita, Avrita, Sankuchita, Mukulita to Viksit consciousness, Then you will be like, Oh my God, I have been thinking so long all across. But it takes, It will take time. It will take time. And that is an effort we should be putting in our human form of life. That is actually worth putting effort for. Just everything has come, Has gone away. Nothing is going to sustain it. Everything will be crushed by time. Yeah. Tell me one thing. All of you can share your views. What is two things which will never be crushed by time? No time can take it from you. And what are the two things which will be crushed by time? Which will be taken by time? But now will never be crushed. Yes. Yes. Krishna will never be crushed by time because he's a master of time. And maybe our karmas, If we keep doing good karmas. Our karma is also kind of variable. It keeps changing. But our bhakti will never be crushed by time. Our chanting will never be crushed by time. Our spirituality will never be crushed by time. My wealth, My body, My house, My family, Everything will be crushed by time. Time will come and just crush it. No crushing happens like when bulldozer comes, Crush it. Time has that jaw, Like the jaw of time is crushed by time. It crushes everything. Like when any animal enters into the lion's mouth, Just crush it. Like, You know, Very feelinglessly. When tiger comes, Do you think tiger feels? Oh, I'm now crushing this animal. Let me feel a little pain about this animal. No, The animal doesn't feel that way. When the tiger crushes, Crush it like ferociously without emotionlessly. So when time comes, The time crush, It crush like without having any emotion will be just crushed by time.
