<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- March 12, 1974, Vrndavana|Morning Walk -- March 12, 1974, Vrndavana]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Hṛdayānanda: Should devotees be formally designated in a particular occupation?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eh? No. Devotees are devotees. Actually devotees are above this brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya, śūdra. But for management of material things, we have to divide. Just like in the body there are divisions. There are... Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa was acting as a kṣatriya. In His boyhood, He was acting like a vaiśya. But Kṛṣṇa is neither kṣatriya nor, nor brāhmaṇa. This is the example. He was a cowherd boy. That is business of vaiśya. And when He was fighting in the battlefield, He was a kṣatriya. He was marrying as a kṣatriya. So although He was acting sometimes as kṣatriya, sometimes as vaiśya, but He's neither of these. So devotee is like that. He may act in any position, but He is above all the material conception of life. That is perfection. Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa...</p>
<p>Nitāi: Śrīla Prabhupāda?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eh?</p>
<p>Nitāi: What should the kṣatriyas be taught?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Kṣatriyas should be taught that he is manager. He must see that everyone is engaged. And if there is any fight, they must come forward to fight. This is kṣatriya's business. There may be fight. Somebody may attack us. Not that chanting, "Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa..." No. They must come forward. "Yes, we are prepared to fight." That is kṣatriya.</p>
<p>Tamāla-Kṛṣṇa: Prabhupāda?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eh.</p>
<p>Tamāla-Kṛṣṇa: In our centers we are awarding brāhmaṇa initiation, second initiation...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no. Initiation should go on. Even... You do not understand what I have said, that that is for Vaiṣṇava. A Vaiṣṇava and Viṣṇu... Just like Kṛṣṇa is Viṣṇu, He's not human being, but He was acting like human being, similarly, Vaiṣṇava is transcendental. But for proper management of the material world, one should be acting like brāhmaṇa, one should be acting like kṣatriya. That is required. Just like actually we are doing so. Some of you are preaching, and some of you are cleansing the temple. It does not mean that a sannyāsī who is preaching, he is better than that man who is cleansing. The... Their position as Vaiṣṇava is the same. But for the management, one is cleansing, one is seeing the construction, one is going to preach, like that. That should be there. It is not that "Because I have taken sannyāsa, therefore I cannot any more do anything." If need be, he has to act as kṣatriya. Or a śūdra. It doesn't matter.</p>
<p>Hṛdayānanda: Oh.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Doesn't matter. But manage, for management, this division must be there. Otherwise it will be mismanagement. Yes. A Vaiṣṇava coming to the position of doing the work of a śūdra does not mean he has become śūdra. He's Vaiṣṇava. Try to understand this point. Just like in the stage. If you want to play something, one must be king, one must be queen, one must be..., but neither of them king or queen. That is stage play. Similarly to manage things in the material world we have to... Guṇa, karma. Karma there must be. Therefore the karma should be done, executed, according to quality.</p>
<p>Ātreya-ṛṣi: So in our Movement, the leaders must decide how every devotee and every resource is engaged properly.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is leadership. That is leadership. The... Which man is fitted for which work.</p>
<p>Ātreya-ṛṣi: Yes. Utilization of all resources...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Ātreya-ṛṣi: ...including devotees and funds and everything.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Then... The first thing is that we should see that everyone is engaged. How he should be engaged, that requires leadership. But the first business is to engage everyone. Nobody should be without engagement. Then it will be idle worse, works... What do you call? Idle brain is devil's workshop. And the devil is kāminī-kāñcana, woman and money. This is devil. So if you remain idle, then you shall think of devil.</p>
