Without being pious, nobody can understand. Yesam tv anta-gatam papam jananam punya-karmanam, te dvandva-moha-nir...So the punya-karma means yajna-dana-tapasya... That is called punya-karma, pious activities. So in this age who is going to perform yajna? Where is that capacity? It is not possible. And who has got money to give in charity? Everyone is poverty-stricken. Mandah sumanda-matayo manda-bhagyah [SB 1.1.10]. Everyone is unfortunate, everyone in this age. So how he can give in charity? Any country you go-maybe in some special-otherwise you will find poverty-stricken men, hungry men, without any culture, without any education. They are majority. Manda-bhagyah. Mandah sumanda-matayo. And mostly, cent percent Why? Cent percent men, they are mandah, bad men. They won't hear about their real necessities of life. Mandah sumanda-matayo. And if they are at all interested for progress of life, they will accept some so-called system, sumanda-matayo. It has no meaning, simply bluff. They will accept that. Mandah sumanda-matayo. Why? Manda-bhagyah, unfortunate. Unfortunate. Mandah sumanda-matayo manda-bhagya hy upadrutah. And always disturbed. This is the description of the men in this Kali-yuga. And beyond that, they are short-living. The duration of life is very short. Under the circumstances, the general process is impossible.>>> Ref.
