Yes. There will be so much trouble because of this godless world.


                                  TEXT 9

                          etam drstim avastabhya
                         nastatmano 'lpa-buddhayah
                        prabhavanty ugra-karmanah
                           ksayaya jagato 'hitah


Following such conclusions, the demoniac, who are lost to themselves
and who have no intelligence, engage in unbeneficial, horrible works meant to
destroy the world.

                                 PURPORT

     The demoniac are engaged in activities that will lead the world to
destruction. The Lord states here that they are less intelligent. The
materialists, who have no concept of God, think that they are advancing. But
according to Bhagavad-gita, they are unintelligent and devoid of all sense. They
try to enjoy this material world to the utmost limit and therefore always engage
in inventing something for sense gratification. Such materialistic inventions are
considered to be advancement of human civilization, but the result is that people
grow more and more violent and more and more cruel, cruel to animals and cruel to
other human beings. They have no idea how to behave toward one another. Animal
killing is very prominent amongst demoniac people. Such people are considered the
enemies of the world because ultimately they will invent or create something which
will bring destruction to all. Indirectly, this verse anticipates the
invention of nuclear weapons, of which the whole world is today very

proud. At any moment war may take place, and these atomic weapons may
create havoc. Such things are created solely for the destruction of the world, and
this is indicated here. Due to godlessness, such weapons are invented in human
society; they are not meant for the peace and prosperity of the world.



Chant Hare Krishna and be Happy!
