"Those who have turned away from the Supreme Lord, Vāsudeva, being under the spell of the Lord’s illusory energy, are eventually forced to give up their so-called homes, children, friends, wives and lovers, which were all created by the illusory potency of the Supreme Lord, and enter against their will into the darkest regions of the universe." https://vedy.online/en/sb11/5/18

"O King, once a wasp forced a weaker insect to enter his hive and kept him trapped there.

"Even if people know how to achieve happiness and avoid unhappiness, they still do not know the process by which death will not be able to exert its power over them."

"When the living entity passes from the present body to the next body, which is created by his own karma, he becomes absorbed in the pleasurable and painful sensations of the new body and completely forgets the experience of the previous body.

"By the death of one’s father or grandfather one can surmise one’s own death, and by the birth of one’s son one can understand the condition of one’s own birth.

"Terrified, about to die, a man collapses on his bed.

But still people in the Age of Kali will not worship the Supreme Lord." https://vedy.online/en/sb12/3/44

"My dear Lord, even Lord Brahmā, who enjoys his exalted position for the entire duration of the universe, fears the passage of time.

I do not know of any relief from this fear except shelter at Your lotus feet, which are the very form of liberation." https://vedy.online/en/sb12/8/43
