In Kali Yug (Present times), only devotion due to fear (Kamsa Bhakti) bears fruit. Kamsa, Lord Krishna’s uncle, was so scared of Krishna, he saw Krishna in water, every pillar and post, in everything due to fear. So, people pray due to the fear of consequences, – “Oh I should not get punished, good things should happen to me” etc. Fear drives people towards faith and not the understanding of spiritual principles or fundamental truths. It is said that in Kali Yug, only Kamsa Bhakti is beneficial, due to fear. No one seeks knowledge for Liberation. Taste is most important for the tongue, eyes seek beauty, ears seek melody the mind is awestruck with external attributes. Those who have knowledge have no fear and they do not waste time They are practical and know we cannot regain lost time As far as others are concerned, only fear brings out their talents and awakes them.
