brainless society

So if there is no ideal class of men, who will guide? If everyone is engaged as sūdra to work hard for technology, then who will give the guidance? A brainless society.    (More...)

This is the division. The brahmana is to be considered the mouth of the viraḍ-rūpa, Bhagavan, the universal form of the Lord; ksatriya, the bahu, the arms; and vaisya, the belly; and sūdra, the leg. So they are meant for cooperation, not that simply falsely becoming proud that "I am brahmana. You are sūdra." No. The brahmana is equally important than the sūdra, though both of them are required.

So at the present moment there is practically no brain, simply hands and legs and belly. Not even hands; simply belly and legs. Rajas-tamo-bhavaḥ. Rajas, rajas means belly, filling up. And tamas, ignorance, ordered. The leg is ordered, "Go there"; it goes. They cannot do anything independently. So rajas-tamo-bhavaḥ, at the present moment the rajas-tamo-bhavaḥ is very prominent. But therefore society is imperfect. There must be a section of people sattva-guna, and..., sattva-guna especially, to guide. Otherwise they will be simply engaged rajas-tamo-bhavaḥ. Rajas-tamo-bhavaḥ means kama and lobha, lusty desires and greediness. That's all.    (More...)
