Kalau śūdra-sambhavaḥ. If not animals, they are all śūdras; nobody brāhmaṇa, nobody kṣatriya, nobody vaiśya. So it is a chaotic condition of the human society. Therefore it cannot be revived to the original position of systematic institutional position. It is not possible. Everything is lost. Therefore by the Caitanya Mahāprabhu's grace, one thing:

harer nāma harer nāma harer nāmaiva kevalam
kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva . . . gatir anyatha.
(CC Adi 17.21)
Everything is lost. Now, simply by chanting harer nāma, the holy name of Lord Kṛṣṇa, you become again situated in the original position. Everything is adjusted, because it is transcendental. So there is no other way.

At the present moment, there is no such family life, no consideration of religion, no consideration of irreligious life. Everything just like animals. Kalau śūdra-sambhavaḥ. If not animals, they are all śūdras; nobody brāhmaṇa, nobody kṣatriya, nobody vaiśya. So it is a chaotic condition of the human society. Therefore it cannot be revived to the original position of systematic institutional position. It is not possible. Everything is lost. Therefore by the Caitanya Mahāprabhu's grace, one thing:

<div class="quote_verse">

:kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva . . . gatir anyatha.

Everything is lost. Now, simply by chanting harer nāma, the holy name of Lord Kṛṣṇa, you become again situated in the original position. Everything is adjusted, because it is transcendental. So there is no other way.

Caitanya Mahāprabhu is so merciful that from the śāstras he has selected this process of saṅkīrtana movement: ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanam bhava-mahā-dāvāgni-nirvāpanam ([[Vanisource:CC Antya 20.12|CC Antya 20.12]]). The human life is meant for extinguishing the blazing fire of material existence. But we are not in regulative principles. We have lost everything—our sanātana-kula-dharma, everything. Under the circumstances, Caitanya Mahāprabhu gives us the greatest facility according to śāstra. That is the boon of this age: kīrtanād eva kṛṣṇasya mukta-saṅgaḥ paraṁ vrajet ([[Vanisource:SB 12.3.51|SB 12.3.51]]). Simply by chanting the holy name of Kṛṣṇa, everyone becomes free from all contamination of this age, mukta-saṅgaḥ paraṁ vrajet. And he becomes so purified that he becomes fit to go back to home, back to Godhead.
