In addition, even though I have declared in no uncertain terms: samoaham sarva bhuteshu, na me dveshoasti na priyah… that is, I am equally present in all beings, and yet, I have a feeling that in the Age of Kali also known as the Age of Consumerism, unlike real sages, the spiritual merchants will regularly perform dravya-yagyas and use my name to greatly benefit themselves without even protecting, what the World Trade Organization refers to as TRIPS or my trade related intellectual property rights.” Arjun: “Are you complaining, Madhusudan. How many times should I remind you, O the Unchanging One, the ways of this world. Having established your permanent residency in heavenly place, indeed a place brimming with breathtaking beauty, where even the Sun’s rays don’t reach, Hey Govind, you seem to have lost touch with reality, the ‘virtual reality’ as we understand it here upon this earth. And let me ask you, Hey Madhusudan, in the first place, who put us in this mess any way? Furthermore, there is a common saying in the West: ‘As you sow, so shall you reap.’ Therefore, no matter how you look at it, the real option you have now, while on this earth, is to face the consequences of your actions, your karma, just like we do, and to soften their blow, use your will to establish yourself in your inner fortress, and for the time being, just learn to endure.”
