The text from Chapter 4 details several dire societal conditions that signal the time for a saint's incarnation. These include a breakdown of social order, where Brahmins despise their own caste and Shudras try to become Brahmins. It also mentions a time when religious teachers are insulted, sectarian hatred grows, and people become distressed. Furthermore, it points to a decline in personal discipline, such as Brahmins consuming liquor and meat, growing tired of their daily prayers, and people becoming obsessed with lust, hunger, and worldly happiness derived from family and status, completely ignoring their spiritual well-being.
