Philosophy of Devotional Service
Srimad-Bhagavatam is the philosophy of devotional service and the scientific presentation of man's relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Prior to the age of Kali there was no need for such a book of knowledge to know the Lord and His potential energies, but with the beginning of the age of Kali human society gradually became influenced by four sinful principles, namely illegitimate connection with women, intoxication, gambling and unnecessary killing of animals. Because of these basic sinful acts, man gradually became forgetful of his eternal relation with God.
Therefore man became blind, so to speak, to his ultimate goal of life. The ultimate goal of life is not to pass a life of irresponsibility like the animals and indulge in a polished way in the four animal principles, namely eating, sleeping, fearing and mating. For such a blind human society in the darkness of ignorance, Srimad-Bhagavatam is the torchlight to see things in proper perspective. Therefore it was necessary to describe the science of God from the very beginning, or from the very birth of the phenomenal world.

Without some sinful act such as, mating, eating and sleeping,no human race could survive in any yuga. Kali Yuga was there when Lord Krishna had to take human form of life and some of the act were not sinful such as eating, sleeping and mating because without this three act, who would survive not even you and i.
The forth act would be working? This the most sinful act if working to gain sinful path of bad karama where falling well below any limit where sins is the only act human race had to adop to live life until it ends and this is where the rest of the bad karama act follows such as, women, intoxication, gambling, Unnecessary killing of animals, wealth.
(1) Women? Part from your wife, anything else is sinful act and to commit this act, man becomes devil himself because all other sinful act to follow.
(2) Gambling? When man gamble he loss all sense within and he losses all faith in God because God do not support this sinful act.
(3) Intoxication? Man loss of faith in God and he himselves believes he is a God himself and God do not support this act.
(4) Unnecessary killing of animals? In which yuga did human race did not kill an animal? Even in Sat Yuga human race did not spare animals. Kaliyuga, this is where Lord Rama and Krishna came in human form.
(5) Wealth? Once Akbar The Great was standing on top of his castle and seeing all around until his eyes reaches the land while scratching his face in order to make himself believe that all is his? He says itis really? Next? He faced the exiled and he was out from the land once he ruled and he again scratched himself to make himself believe if it was real or dilution, it was real and he cries and praying and said My Lord why?
Maha Kaliyuga? Yet to come and human race would be put to test where food would be very little and little drink of water to drink and human race would prove the Maha Kaliyuga because it is happening in many parts of the world already for centuries without we human being know too much about it because we live in comfort zone.
It is just like Lord Mahavir where all poverty was kept away so the pain and suffering of the other human being around him cannot be seen yet there was so much suffering, old age, no food to eat, no roof over human head, diseases and ignorance everywhere yet many were praying by believing God is for them only because those who were suffering, they did bad karama in their past lives?
What was happening in Duriyodhana time, it is taking place at present where no one is safe yet we believe once more Lord Krishna would have to come?
This is why there is a saying these three sinful act where this is going on, God do not enter? This is the end and only devil have access for entry at this places so despite man knows this, he still commit this sinful act, he do not believe God exist. We all know Adam and Eve then the Lucifer so temptation is there and God knows human race would betray him.
Lifetime journey is a test and how you pass from one end to the other, it is your karama and giving up good karama near time of death where one has to leave the soul, would not spare us from sins we did but God knows sins and sinner and the way they were force upon one human so this is where Guru teaches us what is karama good or bad anf how to come out from it .
This is where Sri Srila Prebhupada teaches us what is life after all and what is true happiness really comes from. It is like we run and run after something we would never going to take with us yet we run behind with blind faith and what belong to us we run away from it and what we take with us when time comes to leave the soul, we cry by saying it is all mine?
I came to know from one of the children book where i read when i was very young and it reads; Good to plant the tree and water it then take care of it to know which direction it needs to be bend or not so hard work later on could be avoided but if it was plant with at first then later stage there was no one to take care of it due to it circumstances, it is ok because God is there to direct it through wind and storm so tree remain strong by itself supporting it roots and it too gives fruit just like the rest so God is there who miss him at anytime of it age. God knows Lucifer is there to miss guide his children to claim his world so this is why sinful act and sinful life at present directing God children into unknown path.
