Pṛthu Mahārāja was very nice king. He not only helped producing enough foodstuff, but he was examining each man whether he is employed or not. There was no unemployment in Pṛthu Mahārāja's time. Everyone must have employment, engagement. Nowadays, in spite of so much advancement of science, there are thousands and thousands of unemployed people. They have no sufficient engagement.
Of course, in your country, although there is employment, they have denied to accept employment. In India, for employment . . . there is employment bureau by the government. So if you go to any employment bureau, you will find thousands of men are standing in line to get a job. Unemployment. But it is the duty of the government to see that nobody is unemployed. Everyone must have some means of earning. That is good government.
So Pṛthu Mahārāja did it. The brāhmins . . . not that a brāhmin will be employed as a śūdra. No. A brāhmin must be employed as a brāhmin. A kṣatriya must be employed for a kṣatriya. A vaiśya must be employed for a vaiśya. And śūdra . . . that was the system.
The brāhmins are rejected in the present society because they have no more interest in religious activities. They don't care for the śāstra, sādhu. No, don't care. They simply sense grati . . . dākṣyaṁ kuṭumba-bharaṇam (SB 12.2.6). Udaraṁ bharita. At the present moment people will be satisfied . . . just like animal. If animal has got sufficient food to fill up the belly and sufficient arrangement for sex, then he is satisfied. He doesn't want anything.
So man has become like that. If his belly is filled up with some rubbish thing and if he is free to have sex life, then he thinks, "My life is perfect now." And more perfect life, dākṣyaṁ kuṭumba-bharaṇam. In this age, if one man can maintain his wife and children, he will be considered a great man, "Oh, he is so able, that he is maintaining his wife and children."
Maintaining wife and children, even cats and dogs can do. But in this age, if a man can maintain his wife and children, he will be considered as very expert. Because most people will have no wife, no children. This is the age. So more you become sinful, the more you become irresponsible, the more you become godless, these things are awaiting.
