While passing from our planet to that of Yamaraja, the criminal arrested by the envoys of Yamaraja is attacked by many dogs who bark and bite him for the sole purpose of reminding him of the guilty acts to which he gave himself for the pleasure of the senses. The being becomes practically blind and deprived of all reason when climbs in him the burning desire to enjoy his senses. So he forgets everything. Attracted excessively by material pleasures, the being loses all intelligence, and forgets that he will have to suffer the consequences of his actions. Now we see here that dogs in Yamaraja's service allow the fallen person to remember his guilty acts. Indeed, while we live in the body of dense matter, we are encouraged to taste the material pleasure, and this, by the same governments which in each state of the world favor the regulation of the births. The women are given the pill, and they are even allowed to go to specialized clinics to have an abortion, an abominable crime. All this results from a frantic pursuit of sensory pleasures. In truth, the sexual act is only intended to produce good children, but because people have no control over their senses, and there is no institution to teach them self-control, these unfortunates are trained to commit criminal acts for the sole purpose of satisfying their senses, which is why they must be punished after death.
The Supreme Lord continues: "Under a blazing sun, the perpetrator must travel along burning paths through burning forests. His executioners lash his back when he can no longer walk; hunger and thirst overwhelm it, but unfortunately, this road offers no water, shelter or place of rest.
"Along this road that leads him to Yamaraja's home, he often falls tired, and sometimes dark in unconsciousness, but is forced to get up again. Thus he is quickly brought in the presence of Yamaraja.
"He has to cross 5,766,000,000 km in two or three minutes, after which he is immediately subjected to the tortures he deserves."
The road to be traveled by the punished soul therefore extends over a distance of more than 5.766 million trillion kilometers. This long journey is done in a few moments. The envoys of Yamaraja cover the subtle body of the victim with a particular envelope so that the concerned person can cross this considerable distance in a short time, while being able to tolerate the suffering inflicted upon him. The envelope in question, although material, is composed of elements so subtle (ethereal) that the materialistic scientists could not determine the nature of it. While the modern cosmonauts have so far managed to travel at a speed of about thirty thousand kilometers an hour, it is quite remarkable that the being en route to the
