<div class="text">
Those who are flesh-eaters, they are fourth class, and those who are vegetarians, they are first class, second class, third class. And those who are animal-food eaters, they are fourth class—and less than that, those who have no distinction of eating any kind of flesh . . . there are certain classes of nation also. They say the Chinese people, they eat anything.

So a man is considered to be situated at a certain status of civilization according to the modes of material nature, and that is manifested by eating, by behaving. Ācāra, vicāra. Ācāra means behavior, and vicāra means judgment. By advancement of education one becomes fixed up to take things by judgment. That is called vicāra. And ācāra means cleanliness or behavior. So ācāra, vicāra. The first-, second- and third-class human being, they are situated in ācāra and vicāra.

And in modern civilization also, they say sometimes that a nation is calculated how far he is civilized by the conjunction of amount of soap. That means . . . the soap-using nation means that cleansed. So cleanliness is still considered as the civilized status of man. Unclean status . . . there are different kinds of cleanliness. Inside, vacaḥ bhyantaraṁ. Cleanliness, simply soap and water cleanliness, is not cleanliness. Inside cleanliness also required.
