…and it will continue to be enacted until the living beings are attached to the service of the Lord.
***
The Lord was pacified after killing those kings who were burdensome to the earth. They were puffed up with their military strength, their horses, elephants, chariots, infantry, etc. He Himself was not a party in the fight. He simply created hostility between the powerful administrators, and they fought amongst themselves. He was like the wind which causes friction between bamboos and so sparks a fire.
As stated above, the living beings are not factual enjoyers of things which are manifested as God’s creation. The Lord is the genuine proprietor and enjoyer of everything manifested in His creation. Unfortunately, influenced by the deluding energy, the living being becomes a false enjoyer under the dictation of the modes of nature.
Puffed up by such a false sense of becoming God, the deluded living being increases his material strength by so many activities and thus becomes the burden of the earth, so much so that the earth becomes completely uninhabitable by the sane. This state of affairs is called dharmasya glāṇi, or misuse of the energy of the human being. When such misuse of human energy is prominent, the saner living beings become perturbed by the awkward situation created by the vicious administrators, who are simply burdens of the earth, and the Lord appears by His internal potency just to save the saner section of humanity and to alleviate the burden due to the earthly administrators in different parts of the world.
He does not favor either of the unwanted administrators, but by His potential power He creates hostility between such unwanted administrators, as the air creates fire in the forest by the friction of the bamboos. The fire in the forest takes place automatically by the force of the air, and similarly the hostility between different groups of politicians takes place by the unseen design of the Lord. The unwanted administrators, puffed up by false power and military strength, thus become engaged in fighting amongst themselves over ideological conflicts and so exhaust themselves of all powers. The history of the world reflects this factual will of the Lord, and it will continue to be enacted until the living beings are attached to the service of the Lord.
In the Bhagavad-gītā this fact is very vividly described (Bg. 7.14). It is said, “The deluding energy is My potency, and thus it is not possible for the dependent living beings to supersede the strength of the material modes. But those who take shelter in Me [the Personality of Godhead Śrī Kṛṣṇa] can cross over the gigantic ocean of material energy.” This means that no one can establish peace and prosperity in the world by fruitive activities or by speculative philosophy or ideology. The only way is to surrender unto the Supreme Lord and thus become free from the illusion of the deluding energy.
Unfortunately persons who are engaged in destructive work are unable to surrender to the Personality of Godhead. They are all fools of the first order; they are the lowest of the human species of life; they are robbed of their knowledge, although apparently they seem to be academically educated. They are all of the demoniac mentality, always challenging the supreme power of the Lord. Those who are very materialistic, always hankering after material power and strength, are undoubtedly fools of the first order because they have no information of the living energy, and being ignorant of that supreme spiritual science, they are absorbed in material science, which ends with the end of the material body.
They are the lowest of human beings because the human life is especially meant for reestablishing the lost relation with the Lord, and they miss this opportunity by being engaged in material activities. They are robbed of their knowledge because even after prolonged speculation they cannot reach to the stage of knowing the Personality of Godhead, the summum bonum of everything.
And all of them are men of demoniac principle, and they suffer the consequences, as did such materialistic heroes as Rāvaṇa, Hiraṇyakaśipu, Kaṁsa and others.

Pamho agtacbsp, I agreed if everything is moving by SRI KRSNA EVERYTHING REFLECTS KRSNA BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS MAKING BY HIM , this must be the real reflection of SRI KRSNA and the humans is been created by HIS IMAGE therefore to find the real image of ourselves means to find the origin in SRI KRSNA IMAGES, anyway everyone was conscious of SRI KRSNA before BUT AS SOON AS HE MULTIPLE HIMSELF AS SOON AS THE MATERIAL WORLD IS BEEN CREATED BY THE REFUSAL TO SERVE KRSNA , that’s our real enemy from birth by dealing with unknown this nightmare will be over when we will be out of the material world and one must get so disgustead about it to be sure to not come back again , agtacbsp ys haribol

S.P. Quote:
…There is no scarcity for maintenance in the material world. Because of their poor fund of knowledge, the materialists are disturbed when there is an apparent increase of population on the earth. Whenever there is a living being on the earth, however, his subsistence is immediately arranged by the Lord. The other species of living entities, who far outnumber human society, are never disturbed for maintenance; they are never seen dying of starvation. It is only human society that is disturbed about the food situation and, to cover up the real fact of administrative mismanagement, takes shelter in the plea that the population is excessively increasing…..

2024…..
Spot on, as one can see on the unfolding situation……Misappropriation of funds for war games, Misappropriation of funds for top heavy governments, Misappropriation of funds for issues which are no issues, the list goes on and on and on…..Humanity is its own worst enemy. We do not need aliens to invade the planet to wipe out civilisation. We are doing quite well on our own.
FROM THE THIRD CANTO OF SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM, CHAPTER FIVE “VIDURA’S TALKS WITH MAITRAYA”
*
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: The great sage Maitreya Muni, after honoring Vidura very greatly, began to speak, at Vidura’s request, for the greatest welfare of all people.
https://prabhupadabooks.com/sb/3/5/17
Śrī Maitreya said to Vidura:
The controlling deities of all the above-mentioned physical elements are empowered expansions of Lord Viṣṇu. They are embodied by eternal time under the external energy, and they are His parts and parcels. Because they were entrusted with different functions of universal duties and were unable to perform them, they offered fascinating prayers to the Lord as follows.
https://prabhupadabooks.com/sb/3/5/38
The demigods thus prayed:
O Original Person, we are therefore but Yours only. Although we are Your creatures, we are born one after another under the influence of the three modes of nature, and for this reason we are separated in action. Therefore, after the creation we could not act concertedly for Your transcendental pleasure.
PURPORT
The cosmic creation is working under the influence of the three modes of the external potency of the Lord. Different creatures are also under the same influence, and therefore they cannot act concertedly in satisfying the Lord. Because of this diverse activity, there cannot be any harmony in the material world. The best policy, therefore, is to act for the sake of the Lord. That will bring about the desired harmony.
https://prabhupadabooks.com/sb/3/5/48?d=1
________
To act concertedly seems to be not only a human problem but the demigods were in the same dilemma.
/ If not for payment when working a job the very same people will never get along.
/ This is this why families brake up.
/ This of course than is the reason why Devotees cannot get along and act concertedly.
______
“…born under the INFLUENCE of the three modes of material nature and for this reason we are SEPARATED in action…..and therefore we cannot act CONCERTEDLY to satisfy the Lord…
______
What unifies self-centered beings is 1/ that they are mostly under ONE mode of nature, the mode of Ignorance represented by the concept of I,ME,MINE and b/ the common desire for sex and money. These requirements full-filled make a successful partnership (unified activities).
Same in a marriage, family or with a business partner, you have to have the same goal and be on the same page.
A small temple with a handful of fired up Book Distributors is SUCCESSFUL and UNIFIED when the common goal is to exclusively distribute Srila Prabhupada’s Original books, when ALL activities of ALL participants are geared to that end AND when ALL (no exception) are exclusively engaged in activities in the mode of Goodness which is devoid of the concept of I,ME,MINE.
It than follows that the reason for what is dividing all aspiring Devotees since almost 50 years after Srila Prabhupada’s departure, are the diverse activities UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE THREE MODES IF NATURE which separate us in action. Consequently there cannot be any harmony and we cannot act CONCERTEDLY (even though all necessary “ingredients” for success were/are given by Srila Prabhupada, in the same way as all necessary ingredients for the material creation were given to the demigods by the Supreme Lord).
I,ME,MINE is the devils tool, collectively and individually, it destroys families, relationships, businesses, society and civilisations.

Pamho agtacbsp, through the data of the history we can see the future of the history but without SRI KRSNA we can’t see the history neither the future because SRI KRSNA IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END OF EVERYTHING DIRECTLY AND INDIRECTLY , then a planet born from the refusal to serve krsna is evil but the planet earth is a pious planet because of krsna lila mixed with the fight of the demons because is half evil and half sadhu I mean the are more planets completely evil without any krsna pastimes, we born here compare to our guna and karma compare to SRI KRSNA WILL and if we learn properly from SRILA PRABHUPADA WE GET OUT FROM THE HISTORY OF PLANET EARTH THAT’S WHY WE ARE HERE TO UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY OF SRI KRSNA IN SAVING US.so many fools appeared disappeared without learning nothing by departing as cats and dogs full of misconceptions , so the history also show us how to get out of the material world because it is the most unsafe and cheated place I mean is not for a civilised citizen but for biped agtacbsp ys haribol
