Chapter 6: Verse 31-40

ENGLISH TRANSLATION 31.At the proper time trees bear fruits and flowers. In some seasons the fruits are ripe. In other seasons the fruits are not ripe yet. 32.Happiness, suffering, calamity, good fortune, grief, and anxiety, which are the auspicious and inauspicious fruits of each person’s work, all come at the appropriate time. 33.What is not pleasing in the three worlds? What is unpleasing in the three worlds? It is the powers of time that makes things pleasing and unpleasing. 34.You have seen how, when the fruits of their past deeds have become ripe, kings and manus in this world are under the control of time. 35.What is now a single moment in Goloka is seven manvantaras in the material world. 36.Seven Indras have come and gone. Now it is the time of the eighth Indra. In this way My wheel of time turns day and night. 37.Indras, manus, and kings are all under the control of time. Their fame, piety, and sins remains only as words in history. 38.Even now on the earth there are many powerful and wicked kings who revile the Supreme Personality of Godhead. 39.In the course of time they also will submit to time’s power. 40.By My order time moves, the wind blows, fire burns and the sun shines.
