After the one thousand celestial years of Kali-yuga, the Satya-yuga will manifest again. At that time the minds of all men will become self-effulgent.

Translation
After the one thousand celestial years of Kali-yuga, Satya-yuga will manifest again at the concluding sandhyā of Kali-yuga. At that time the minds of all men will become self-effulgent. This verse describes the entrance time of Satya-yuga. Caturthe means “in Kali-yuga.” Here it actually means that Satya-yuga will begin during the sandhyāṁśa of Kali-yuga [Note: The total number of devatā years for Kali-yuga is 1200 years. The first sandhyā is 120 devatās years and the sandhyāṁśa is 120 years. The middle portion is 960 devatā years (approximately 1000). ].

Personal Guidance
After 1,000 celestial years, Satya returns and minds become self-effulgent. Hope is built into the cycle — but more importantly, self-effulgence is the soul's actual nature. Sādhana uncovers it now; we don't have to wait for Satya-yuga to taste it.
Reflection Questions

  • What helps me return to that taste?
