The principles of Vedic societies are founded on the common sense logic that specific key occupations are to be carried out carefully and precisely and by persons who have the inherant natures that are equated for purposes . This is particularly important, especially when occupational duties affect greater society, such as political leaders , social leaders , religious leaders, or business leaders. We could say , for instance, in the past, many rouge leaders have taken possession of posts that they were not psychologically profiled for , the results are always disastrous , although those in ignorance may not understand what the consequences are or even what a disaster looks like or how it may be unfolding . The independent Vedic Brahminical intelligentsia themselves were profiled in Vedic cultures , there were always checks and balances in place instigated by Divinity Himself. We should know that Visnu has established the Vedas. The Vedas is the breathing of the Visnu , and He has seen to it throughout the history of the Universe that the extensive Vedic widom passes through and is understood by the purest and truthful persons, their qualities are given in the Vedas .The highest quality persons , pure in consciousness , can fully access and understand the many applications of the all encompasing governance and compliance systems designed for social and spiritual mobility that go hand in hand in Vedic culture. Specific persons with specific qualifications and realisations and skill sets in specific areas and that are inherant within them since birth due to previous lives are suited for tasks , and they can be perfected by further education as well as association . Administrative posts , business enterprise , crafts and practical skills, and finally, persons with theological or theosophy liking as well philosophical leanings are some examples.
The percentages, according to the Vedas , of people fitting particular roles remain very steady throughout all societies historically, and indeed, this is objectively seen .
In order for societal cohesion to take place it’s very important , and Lord Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita , that a particular type of person with particular qualities that are suited for a specific roles in society take their place . Persons should not take up someone else’s duties , duties that they don’t have the inherant qualities for , as that will always lead to an imbalance and great harm locally and nationally and internationally.
For instance, a businessman is a profit driven man , and he will not be able to consider the multifarious needs of the population nor the creatures that live within the countryside.
However, the man with greater vision , an administrator , will understand those needs , and still further, another man , the philosophical and theological persons, will understand the much much greater aspects of humanities needs . Even the needs of a single ant are to be considered. In the human case , along with philosophical developments are the environment needs living peaceful lives . The bigger picture and the greater questions of life are understood by great thinkers who link themselves with honesty to God but not in a sentimental way .
Without having the right persons influences in the key positions , society becomes unbalanced and unsteady and unproductive , exploitation , danger , killing, and wars increase. Greater ignorance of the key values develops, and intolerance increases . Essential knowledge as well as all-around education becomes stifled . The all important intelligentsia who have everyone’s interest at heart are silenced or pushed out , either by , political operators, fanatical religionists , or ultra liberalists who are business conglomorates who favour scientific materialism and atheistic Darwinian hypothesis , its good for business. Unfortunately, currently, they own and control much of the mainstream and social media . They also spend money to fix legislation their way with the help of political allies , and their foolhardy messages are broadcast wholesale. The results have been a widespread teaching of subjective scientific speculations as fact based science to children. Scientific materialism is the dog of the day . Children should be taught critical thinking, particularly in the all-important sciences .
The Bhagavad Gita and the Srimad Bhagavatam give details of the Vedic societies make-up and different people’s qualities for various occupational activities. Not specifically by birthright but inherant qualities within. Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has translated them into English.
