2721 troubles.

A time-traveling clone I met in a bus the other day told me that the real troubles
start in 2721 and they have to do with a sexless-violence free society of beings who lack any will to defend themselves utterly.

He could have been an NSA lackey, trying to prevent me from actually doing anything interesting in the present. But then again, what if he's right?

As Gandalf would say to ... Frodo..

Eternal life depends a bit on how much you want to live. For a fellow like Hyraniakasipu (the Great Architect, no doubt), it surely means perfect Yoga followed by debauchery at a totally new level. Debauchery might not necessarily get you 'there', but it will definitively be a fun filled ride, even if the ending is not the best. (cough cough)

Not fulfilling his Karma would not have been an option for Hyrani. This is why Prahlad was so important. Prahlad permits Hyrani to fulfill his destiny, thus liberating himself form the bondage of the separation from the Creator.
