If you want to satisfy the Supreme Lord, then you must execute the functions as they are prescribed in the varnasrama system. Then everything is all right. The same example: If all the parts of a machine is in order, working, it will make no trouble. If one of the screws, I mean, is slack, or it has fallen down, then another part is dislocated, that whole work is stopped. So we should consider in that way, that we are all part and parcel of Krsna. So according to part and parcel, you must execute your duty -- as brahmana, as ksatriya, as vaisya, as sudra. And the brahmana being head, he should give the direction. Therefore he is considered the guru of other varnas. But he... Because if there is no head, no brahmana, then the whole thing is disturbed. And that is the position at the present moment. Actually there is no brahmana, or scarcity of brahmana. So others are not guided properly. Therefore there is chaos in the whole society. So we require to create some brahmanas, and others should understand to abide by the direction of the brahmanas. Then the whole society will be in order. | If you want to satisfy the Supreme Lord, then you must execute the functions as they are prescribed in the varnasrama system. Then everything is all right.

Philosophy Discussion on John Dewey:: Yes. No theory. This is practical. Now, as a big machine, the screw is a part, so if every part works nicely, the machine goes nicely. So if we understand... Just like I think last night I was explaining mukha baho rupa divya: the gigantic body, the brahmana class, they are the mouth. So one must do the duty of the mouth. The mouth speaks, vibrates and eats. So our proposition is to chant Hare Krsna mantra and eat Krsna prasadam. Then the mouth duty, the brahmana's duty, is performed. Similarly, the ksatriya's duty -- again we come to that varnasrama-dharma. So everyone is factually part and parcel of God and executes his prescribed duty, then it is perfect.
