There is a correct way to understand how Vedic social religious societies can benefit the world . The Vedas naturally present its inherant living systems that bring social and spiritual mobility for everyone . In current times, the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas have reinstated and correctly interpreted the original purposes of the Varna Ashram systems beyond the perversions of the smarta Brahminical class , who became bewildered. Consciousness development which includes social and spiritual mobility, is easily achieved when scientific Krishna consciousness is added to everyone’s life , at that time the decending process of knowledge begins, Divinity directly brings insights, education and inspiration to carry out steady Dharma. Four classes of persons are found in all societies. What their particular duties are have been established by Krishna. The founder of ISKCON AC Bhavtivedanta Swami would speak about any society as being so many zeros. However, zeros are meaningful when the number one is added , then the many zeros take on substance. The founder Acarya of ISKCON Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada would say you only have to add Krishna consciousness to what you like to do , and to what your natural inclinations are . The social and political proceedings , whatever they are, will become perfect, and the ” 1″ is added to the many zeros. Progressive lives for all will occur, and for everyone , if the right persons with natural qualities are carrying out their correct occupations and are truely connected to Bhagavat Dharma . According to their natures , each person has their psychological makeup , and everyone fits somewhere nicely. Importantly, the motivations of all persons must be linked to scientific dualism , the underlying principles of the culture of consciousness, and it being different than matter , this must be understood. Within all societies in the world, different persons have been arranged with particular qualities by Divinities arrangements for the upkeep of society. There are the intelligentsia , both of the scholarly kind , and the spirituality realised kind . They fully understand body , mind, and consciousness . They should be the guiding light for all because they are pure , detached, and devoted to Divinity . They are expert in understanding every aspect of the Vedas and its practical implementations . Also, within societal affairs , we will find persons of valour , just persons, protectors of society who feel for the people and want the best for everyone . They are warriors and administrators or leaders of mankind , but they are always advised by the intelligentsia and never go it alone .
Naturally, there are business persons who love to turn a profit and can keep economics running nicely , and then we have craftsmen and workers .
Everyone within the greater body of society simply needs to add spiritual knowledge , i.e. , knowledge of body , mind , and consciousness, referred to as spiritual dualism , within their lives .Scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis stop this process , and they lead to libertine cultures and sophisticated animal life . If Krishna consciousness or scientific dualism is taught, then motivations and directions change for everyone , the self-evident truth of equality of all beings is understood, and sensitivity follows .
When the top of society is correctly situated , the rest of society automatically follows . Social and spiritual mobility is included within the original Varna Ashram system . Degradation of our world is in full swing with perversions of all kinds , this happens when someone unfit , or a particular group of people who are unqualified grab power and gang together . They think of themselves as superior and need no lessons from anyone , including God Himself , but they are ignorant and uncultured.
