<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk 'Varnasrama College' -- March 14, 1974, Vrndavana|Morning Walk 'Varnasrama College' -- March 14, 1974, Vrndavana]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: Gurukula is only for the small children. Preliminary, primary. And when the children are grown up, they should be sent to the varṇāśrama school or college for further developed training.</p>
<p>Hṛdayānanda: They should... Should they be taught also some... Should there also be teaching in some particular skill or varṇa? Such as say...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No.</p>
<p>Hṛdayānanda: Say, for example, someone was a, a kṣatriya by inclination, or a...?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, inclination can be changed also. If one has got little ad... But we should take little advantage of the inclination. Not that... That is to be decided by the... Inclination or no inclination, we can... That will be done. That is not very difficult. This is a most important item. Because people have been spoiled all over the world by being misguided by the so-called leaders. Therefore varṇāśrama college is required. Hare Kṛṣṇa.</p>
<p>Hṛdayānanda: But Prabhupāda, I'm still not quite clear. In other words, we'd teach, for example, like Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Hare Kṛṣṇa. Jaya. Eh?</p>
<p>Hṛdayānanda: How much would be expected of the students as far as...? Would they live with us and follow the four principles? Like that? Or just come for classes or...?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Come to classes you won't get. Because nobody has got any taste for such thing. A boarding school or boarding college would...</p>
<p>Hṛdayānanda: Boarding school.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Hṛdayānanda: And there should... Should there be any material subject matters taught like in gurukula?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Just like material subject matter, kṣatriya, or the brāhmaṇas, kṣatriya, as they are described in the Bhagavad-gītā, what are the symptoms of brāhmaṇa, what is the symptoms of kṣatriya. The kṣatriyas should be taught how to fight also. There will be military training. There will be training how to kill.</p>
<p>Hṛdayānanda: Oh.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. And vaiśyas should be trained how to give protection to the cows, how to till the field and grow food. Practical.</p>
<p>Nitāi: Not business also?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eh?</p>
<p>Nitāi: The vaiśyas?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Business, this rascal business, no.</p>
<p>Nitāi: No?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Business means if you have got extra grains or extra foodstuff, you can sell where there is necessity, there is want. That is business. We are not going to open mills and factories and... No. We are not going to do that. That is śūdra business. The real business is that you produce enough food grains, as much as possible, and you eat and distribute. That's all. This is business. He does not require any so high technical education. Anyone can till the ground and grow food. Is it difficult? This is the business. The first thing is that everyone, man and animal, especially the cows, they must be properly fed so become very stout and strong. Cows will supply milk, and man will work hard, without being suffered by dysentery. He must work hard. Any capacity. Work as a teacher or work as a kṣatriya, work as a ploughman. Or work as general assistant. He must work. Everyone should be employed. And his employment will be provided from any of these groups, according to his capacity. Either as a brāhmaṇa, or as a kṣatriya, or as a vaiśya, or as a śūdra.</p>
<p>Hṛdayānanda: What kind of training is there for a śūdra?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Śūdra is general assistant.</p>
<p>Hṛdayānanda: Oh, just...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Order-carrier. He has no intelligence. He doesn't require intelligence. "Do this." That's all.</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: What would he learn at the school, though?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eh?</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: What would his business be at that varṇāśrama college?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. That is also training, to become obedient. Because people are not obedient. What are these hippies? They are not obedient. So obedience also require training. If you have no intelligence, if you cannot do anything independently, just be obedient to the other, higher three classes. That is śūdra. He must agree to abide by the orders of brāhmaṇa, kṣatriyas, vaiśya. That's all. So that nobody will be unemployed. Everyone should be trained up to sleep six to eight hours and attend meeting, chant, and ārati. And balance—he must work hard. Not that sleeping unlimitedly. There is no limit.</p>
