Listen "The Antidote to The Epidemic of Cynicism | SB 7.9.22 | HG Vaisesika Dasa | ISV | 29 Nov 2025"
Episode Synopsis
The whole world has this kind of madness because of krodha or cynicism, and it's self-protective. It's hard for people to entertain the idea that there may be some truth. So Prahlāda Mahārāja here gives what may be the antidote to that.
First of all, he describes: "sa tvaṁ hi nitya-vijitātma-guṇaḥ sva-dhāmnā." He's describing the mechanism of the material world. And he's saying that it has various elements that are countable. Then he points back to the cause of all of it, which is the Supreme Independent Person. Prabhupāda puts this parenthetically to show what the purpose of all this analysis is: to come back to the Supreme Independent Person, who, through His external energy, has created the material mind, which is the cause of all suffering in the material world.
He describes his experience in this process, or being in the material world, as being crushed—"niṣpīḍyamānam," "I'm being crushed by the Wheel of Time." And then he comes to the ultimate conclusion, which is that now I surrender to you. This is kind of the vulnerability of the person who comes to the conclusion that I'm not the supreme controller. What's more, I'm being crushed by the Wheel of Time, and therefore, Kṛṣṇa, please save me!
