| Anything created by God is enjoyed by everyone, not that a particular type of society or a particular type of community. God's gift is enjoyable by everyone. That is actually spiritual communism. That is stated in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, that same Nārada Muni, when he was speaking to Yudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja, he says that whatever property is there, whatever things are there, either in the sky or in the land or in the water, everything belongs to God; and all the sons of God, all the living entities, they have right to enjoy the property of the father. That is stated in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.
| | So actually Vedic culture is not stereotype. It is not stagnant; it is dynamic. So we have to, at the present moment, if we are really serious about our culture through this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, we have to spread this Vedic culture and collect and pick up who is in brahminical qualification, who is in ''kṣatriya'' qualifications, who is a ''vaiśya''. |
| | |
| So if we actually want to give our Vedic culture to the world, we should think in that light, as it is given to us by our ācāryas or the Supreme Personality of Godhead. So this culture, Kṛṣṇa consciousness culture, is being spread all over the world on this principle, and people are accepting. And our only request is that those who are thoughtful Indians and responsible leaders of the society, they should take this movement very seriously.
| |
| | |
| It is not a concocted idea given by me. No. It is authorized, and it is on the principles of Vedic knowledge, and it is the duty of the Indians to understand this cultural movement very seriously and spread it all over the world. That is our business. Therefore this was indicated by Lord Caitanya, bhārata-bhūmite manuṣya janma haila yāra. Anyone who has taken birth as a human being,

| Such person, first of all let him realize his constitutional position. Because there are facilities. In India we have got this Vedic literature.
| |
| | |

| |
| :([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 20.117|CC Madhya 20.117]])
| |

| |
| | |
| Why our great sages and saintly persons have made so many literatures? Because it is an opportunity for the Indians to self-realize, realize his constitutional position. And there is so much help. Just like Bhagavad-gītā given by the Lord Himself for self-realization. So therefore Caitanya Mahāprabhu recommends that anyone who has taken his birth as a human being should realize his constitutional position, and taking help from the ācāryas and great sages and Lord Kṛṣṇa, and then spread that knowledge all over the world, para-upakāra.
| |
|
| |
|
| Because in other parts of the world, they are not so advanced in spiritual knowledge. That is a fact. They agree to that. And it is our duty to spread this spiritual knowledge all over the world. If you do not do that, then it is called jñāna-kala(?). We are miser. We have become miser, kṛpaṇa. Kṛpaṇa. These two words, brāhmaṇa and kṛpā. Brāhmaṇa means liberal, and kṛpā... There is a Bengali word that if a brāhmaṇa gets one lakh of rupees, he is still a beggar. Why he is a beggar? Because he does not keep anything for his sense gratification; he immediately distributes.
| | Don't make it that these systems of division of the social order is only monopolized by Indians. No. It is not that. It should be spread. Then people will accept also. Just like these boys and girls, they are being trained up to become as qualified ''brāhmins''. So if you don't accept them, that "They are not ''brāhmins''," that is not according to ''śāstra''. That may be your whimsical estimation, but actually we have to find out. Because when Kṛṣṇa says, when God says that: |
|
| |
|
| So you have to create brāhmaṇas, real brāhmaṇas, who can distribute this Vedic knowledge all over the world. That is the present need. We have to create actually brāhmaṇas, liberal, not that "I know this. I shall not let know any other." That is kṛpaṇa. Just like kṛpaṇa means miser. He has got money, but he does not want to distribute it or utilize it properly. He is called kṛpaṇa. Kṛpaṇāḥ phala-hetavaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 2.49|BG 2.49]]), in the Bhagavad-gītā it is said. Kṛpaṇa, those who are miser, they simply want to enjoy the fruits of his labor himself. But our culture is brahminical culture. Become liberal. Just purify your own life, then take the knowledge and distribute to the whole world.

| | :''guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśaḥ'' |
| | :([[vanisource:BG 4.13 (1972)|BG 4.13]]) |
|
| |
|
| So this is a teeny attempt. Of course, personally I am trying to do; but if all Indians they join with this movement, I think the whole world will be Kṛṣṇa conscious.
| | "I have created these four orders of society according to quality and according to work," how you can deny this facility to others? |

|
| Thank you very much.
