Lectures

Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

So at the present moment there is no brain, there is no Brāhmin, neither there is Kṣatriya, simply Śūdras and Vaiśyas, mostly Śūdras. So as in your body there are divisions—the brain division, the arm division, the belly division and the leg division—similarly the human society must be divided like the scientific divisions. A section of people must be very intelligent class of men, Brāhmin.

In the Bhagavad-gītā you will find the statement by Kṛṣṇa: māṁ hi pārtha vyapāśritya ye 'pi syuḥ pāpa-yonayaḥ (BG 9.32), "Anyone, it doesn't matter what he is, even he's born in sinful family, it doesn't matter. If he takes shelter of Me:" māṁ hi pārtha vyapāśritya te 'pi yānti parāṁ gatiḥ, "they all are promoted to the supreme planet, back to home, back to Godhead." Kiṁ punar brāhmaṇāḥ puṇyā (BG 9.33), then if they can be promoted, what to speak of persons who are really born in the Brāhmin family.

So it is a great opportunity to make your life successful. Don't spoil your life like cats and dog. Just become a Brāhmin. We don't expect that everyone will become Brāhmin, but if a little percentage of person becomes Brāhmin, the whole problems of the world will be solved. Just like Brāhmin is considered to be the brain. A man may be very healthy body, but the . . . if the brain is cracked, this body will not help, everything is spoiled.

So at the present moment there is no brain, there is no Brāhmin, neither there is Kṣatriya, simply Śūdras and Vaiśyas, mostly Śūdras. So as in your body there are divisions—the brain division, the arm division, the belly division and the leg division—similarly the human society must be divided like the scientific divisions. A section of people must be very intelligent class of men, Brāhmin.

A section of people may be very strong, Kṣatriyas, politicians, fighters. A section of people must be producers, the Vaiśyas; and a section of people must be Śūdras, or the legs. Just as compared with your body—the full body means the head, the arms, the belly and the legs. If you say that there is . . . there is no need of head, is that very bodily sound? It is dead body. It is dead body.

So our propaganda is that we want to make a section of people Brāhmin. Brāhmin means one who knows Brahma. That is the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. And we are all Brahma, you, me, everyone, because we are part and parcel of the Supreme Brahma, ahaṁ brahmāsmi. This is the philosophy that, "I am not this matter; I am Brahman." This knowledge required. This knowledge, this brahma-jñāna knowledge, is being imparted in the beginning of the Bhagavad-gītā, that:

dehino 'smin yathā dehe
kaumāraṁ yauvanaṁ jarā
tathā dehāntara-prāptir
dhīras tatra na muhyati
(BG 2.13)

Dehino, the proprietor of the body, is Brahma, the spirit soul. Try to understand it. Don't be foolish to accept this body as "I am." No. This is dogs', cats' philosophy. This is not Brāhmin's philosophy. The Brāhmin's philosophy is that, "I am not this body. I am spirit soul," ahaṁ brahmāsmi.
