In Kali Yuga, the teachers of teachers do not arise, and the great saints do not grow into maturity. They are branded chandalas and cast out; persecuted, disbelieved, disregarded, and out of print. They come to notice indirectly and over time. As a prophet is never recieved in his own country, so, a Messiah is never received in his own age. The kingdom he sees and dwells in by the power of faith and imagination is not for them, nor for their children, nor their grandchildren, nor great-grandchildren. It is something which humanity, as a whole, will neither understand nor experience for many, many generations to come, and which, meanwhile, can only arouse hostility, fear, scorn, confusion, laughter, or, at best, a vague and passing curiousity, from the majority of humankind.
