Wisdom of today : Chant and Be Happy. #SmallGoldenAge #KaliYuga

Text 27:

When the mind, intelligence and senses are solidly fixed in the mode of goodness, that time should be understood as Satya-yuga, the age of truth. People then take pleasure in knowledge and austerity.

ŚB 12.3.27

प्रभवन्ति यदा सत्त्वे मनोबुद्धीन्द्रियाणि च ।
तदा कृतयुगं विद्याज्ज्ञाने तपसि यद् रुचि: ॥ २७ ॥
prabhavanti yadā sattve
mano-buddhīndriyāṇi ca
tadā kṛta-yugaṁ vidyāj
jñāne tapasi yad ruciḥ

Synonyms

prabhavanti — they are predominantly manifest; yadā — when; sattve — in the mode of goodness; manaḥ — the mind; buddhi — intelligence; indriyāṇi — senses; ca — and; tadā — then; kṛta-yugam — the age of Kṛta; vidyāt — should be understood; jñāne — in knowledge; tapasi — and austerity; yat — when; ruciḥ — pleasure.

Translation

When the mind, intelligence and senses are solidly fixed in the mode of goodness, that time should be understood as Satya-yuga, the age of truth. People then take pleasure in knowledge and austerity.

Purport

The word kṛta means “performed” or “executed.” Thus in the age of truth all religious duties are duly performed, and people take great pleasure in spiritual knowledge and austerity. Even in the Kali-yuga, those who are situated in the mode of goodness take pleasure in the cultivation of spiritual knowledge and the regulated performance of austerity. This sublime state of existence is possible for one who has conquered sex desire.
