ingredients of Tao: the Yuga of Kali

We are the archangels pain of a world that collapses,

we are the children of a new breed unborn,

but he lives through us

as a wind load of new threats and pollen.

We do not know what we mean,

our oracle is sealed

our darkest dreams, our contradictory signs.

We do not have the key,

but we are still faced with a new threshold,

to knock at the door,

to beat as it had in the forest

the first ape, who wanted to be a man.

But we get lost in the revolt,

we get lost in the pride of the rich

or appeal the refusal.

We get lost in the seduction of the government or dreams.

But our sense is not to be victims nor escape

our sense is beyond rebellion.

Our sense is knocking on this door,

cry like children in the night until the door opens.

Sri Aurobindo

standard description:

KalYug (Devanāgarī: कलियुग, lit. "age of (the male demon) Kali", or "age of vice") is the last of the four stages that the world goes through as part of the cycle of yugas described in the Indian scriptures. The other ages are Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga and Dvapara Yuga. According to the Surya Siddhanta, an astronomical treatise that forms the basis of all Hindu and Buddhist calendars, Kali Yuga began at midnight (00:00) on 18 February 3102 BCE in the proleptic Julian calendar, or 23 January 3102 BC in the proleptic Gregorian calendar. This date is also considered by many Hindus to be the day that Krishna died after being mortally wounded by an arrow. Most interpreters of Hindu scriptures believe that earth is currently in Kali Yuga. The Kali Yuga is traditionally thought to last 432,000 years.
Hindus believe that human civilization degenerates spiritually during the Kali Yuga, which is referred to as the Dark Age because in it people are as far removed as possible from God. Hinduism often symbolically represents morality (dharma) as a bull. In Satya Yuga, the first stage of development, the bull has four legs, but in each age morality is reduced by one quarter. By the age of Kali, morality is reduced to only a quarter of that of the golden age, so that the bull of Dharma has only one leg.
Kali Yuga is associated with the apocalypse demon Kali, not to be confused with the goddess Kālī (these are unrelated words in the Sanskrit language). The "Kali" of Kali Yuga means "strife, discord, quarrel, or contention."
