Kali-yuga people are blinded

The people of Kali-yuga are blinded by total absorption in sinful activities. In the previous ages of Satya, Treta, and Dvapara, people were religious. In Kali-yuga, the darkest of ages, however, people know nothing but impiety but people in this age are the most fortunate. In previous ages, it was always very difficult to follow the particular yuga-dharma [religious practices for perfection]. But in Kali-yuga, the process of self-realization is easy --- to simply chant Lord Krishna's holy names. In the age of Kali, people can attain freedom from the cycle of birth and death by dancing joyfully and happily singing the Lord's names and qualities.
