Bhagavad Gita 1-42

dOShairEtaiHi kulaCGnaanaaM varNasaMkarakaarakaiHi

utsAdyaMtE jaati dharmaaHa kuladharmaascha SaaSvataaHa || 42 ||

Because of the misdeeds of these destructors of the families and Varnas, family values and social values will be destroyed forever.

Once the varna system and the families are destroyed there will be no more family values in the society. Rebuilding these values again will be an impossible task and these values are at the risk of being lost forever. The destructors of the families and the system will predominate and prevail and there will be chaos forever. There is an irony when the author indicates through Arjuna to Krishna that the eternal dharma will be lost forever!
