Time gradually forces us to rely on Krishna! We can no longer rely on our reflexes: We can no longer rely on our wit, as our memory is fading day by day.
One man with a T-shirt- an old man with a T-shirt- I met him in Johannesburg airport, some years ago. And it said: ‘Done it all. Seen it all. Heard it all. But can’t remember it all!’ Yes, a great T-shirt!
He said, “You like it? I designed it myself”
Which made it even more authentic, you know. Yes so in this way, old age is certainly a factor in the life of a Vaishnava. But it works favourable!
Where as for the materialists, it is just limiting him further and further and diminishing all his means to happiness!
But for the devotee it brings him to the one pointed root of just relying on Krsna! and taking shelter of Krsna, realising that it is Krsna who provides.
