As described in the previous verse, people who have no taste for the devotional service of the Lord are occupied in material engagements. Most of them engage during the daytime in hard physical labor; their senses are engaged very extensively in troublesome duties in the gigantic plants of heavy industrial enterprise. The owners of such factories are engaged in finding a market for their industrial products, and the laborers are engaged in extensive production involving huge mechanical arrangements. "Factory" is another name for hell. At night, hellishly engaged persons take advantage of wine and women to satisfy their tired senses, but they are not even able to have sound sleep because their various mental speculative plans constantly interrupt their sleep. Because they suffer from insomnia sometimes they feel sleepy in the morning for lack of sufficient rest. By the arrangement of supernatural power, even the great scientists and thinkers of the world suffer frustration of their various plans and thus rot in the material world birth after birth. A great scientist may make discoveries in atomic energy for the quick destruction of the world and may be awarded the best prize in recognition of his service (or disservice), but he also has to undergo the reactions of his work by rotating in the cycle of repeated births and deaths under the superhuman law of material nature. All these people who are against the principle of devotional service are destined to rotate in this material world without fail.
This verse particularly mentions that even sages who are averse to the principles of devotional service to the Lord are also condemned to undergo the terms of material existence. Not only in this age, but formerly also, there were many sages who tried to invent their own systems of religion without reference to devotional service to the Supreme Lord, but there cannot be any religious principle without devotional service to the Lord. The Supreme Lord is the leader of the entire range of living entities, and no one can be equal to or greater than Him. Even the Lord's impersonal feature and all-pervading localized feature cannot be on an equal level with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore, there cannot be any religion or system of genuine philosophy for the advancement of the living entities without the principle of devotional service.

  • @800 They used a lot of Indians during Burma, but didn't use that many in Africa.

    By the way the British deserved credit, There was a point in the war were the only thing that stood between Hitler dominating the world were the British.

  • the british should treat their colonial troops with respect since they fight for their own country and the british most of the british forces fighting in south east asia and africa were actually indian troops and britan took all the credit but still they gave india independence

see all

    Scottish, Welsh, English, Northern Irish, Burmese, Indian all fought together in Burma. Never once have we taken credit.

    Typical American dumbass who doesen't know jackshit about history.

  • I have come to the conclusion that wars are not won, they are lost by the more stupid hierarchy running them.

  • @kingbleah u shouldn't have come at first....its our loyalty to the raj which helped u to beat d Axis...not only the world wars ,we also fought in boer war, afghan campaigns, boxer rebellion and many more wars for British .. we Indians lifted the siege of peking ......All we wanted is a little bit recognition and respect but sadly all we got is few brass medals and racist comments from a fucktard widely known as churchill

  • @8000jk

    maybe we should have let india go under japans empire then?.

    would india get independance in 200 years i dont think so!.

  • Edward Drea is wrong. The Japanese Army didn't just suffer solely from a dysfunctional command system in 1944, its junior officers were bound to an anachronistic system of honour which meant their tactics were moulded by it. The British box formations played into this by goading Japanese forces into repeated attacks against their positions which inevitably broke them up and killed thousands. Japanese officers, wishing to save face, repeated this folly time after time.

  • @p182100 what a trooper

  • My Grandad fought in Burma but was sent bk to England because he got shot in his head. He's still alive now. He's 90 now
