The science of the westerners says that human beings are on the path of progress since primitive man till date. In reality, human beings have made no progress; instead, they are moving towards extreme downfall. In Satyayug humans were God-realised. Treta and Dwapar yugs witnessed progressively increasing downfall of mankind. Now, at the beginning of Kaliyug itself humans have reached unfathomable depths of downfall. The extent of downfall that will occur in the remaining approximately 4,26,000 years of Kaliyug is simply unimaginable.
