JOURNAL:

In his purport Srila Prabhupada writes; As stated in the Katha Upanisad (1.2.25),

yasya brahma ca ksatram ca
ubhe bhavata odanah
mrtyur yasyopasecanam
ka ittha veda yatra sah

Eventually all the brahmanas, ksatriyas and everyone else are devoured like a meal by the Supreme. This form of the Supreme Lord is the all-devouring giant, and here Krsna presents Himself in that form of all-devouring time.

We all grow old. For the first time in my life I have tendonitis. I may not be able to do the work I have done for thirty-five years. It scares me but I trust the Lord will sustain me until my time comes.
