Cities will be dominated by thieves, the Vedas, the original holy scriptures will be contaminated by the speculative interpretations of atheists, the politicians will virtually consume the citizens, the so-called priests and intellectuals will be devotees of their wombs and their genitals. We are seeing this situation all over the world today, we are already seeing the beginnings of it.
Those who want to learn the celibate life anchored in continence will fail to fulfill their vows and will generally become unclean, the heads of families will become beggars. Those who decide to give up family and social life in order to achieve spiritual realization, will live in villages, and those who choose to live as a hermit, renouncing materialism will become greedy for wealth.
Women will become much more small, they will eat too much, have more children than they can take care of properly, and lose all shyness. Human beings will always speak harshly and display theft, deception and unrestrained daring.
Businessmen will engage in petty trade and earn their money by cheating. Even when there is no emergency, people will consider any degraded occupation to be quite acceptable.
Servants will abandon a master who has lost his wealth, even if that master is a holy person of exemplary character. Masters will abandon an incapable servant, even if the servant has been in the family for generations. Cows will be abandoned or killed when they stop giving milk.
In the Iron Age, men will be miserable and controlled by women. They will reject their fathers, brothers, other relatives and friends and instead associate with the sisters and brothers of their wives. Thus their conception of friendship will be based exclusively on sexual ties.
Uneducated men will accept charity in the name of the Lord and earn a living by demonstrating austerity and wearing a beggar's robe. Those who know nothing about religion will rise to a high seat and pretend to speak of religious principles.
During this dark time, spirits will always be restless. People will become emaciated from famine and taxes, and will always be troubled by fear of drought. They will lack adequate clothing, food and drink, will be unable to rest, have sex, or bathe properly, and will have no ornaments to decorate their bodies. In fact, the beings of this Dark Age will gradually appear as ghostly and haunted or possessed creatures.
Men will develop hatred for each other, even for a few coins. Abandoning all friendly relations, they will be ready to lose their lives and even kill their own parents. They will no longer protect their elderly parents, children or respectable wives. Completely degraded, they will only worry about satisfying their own bellies and genitals.
