So it was the business of the king to see that things are going on. First of all, there is classification: intelligent class, or brāhmaṇa; and the administrator class of kṣatriya; and the mercantile class, money-producing class. So everyone is engaged, and he's doing his own business. But this division must be there. Without division the society will be in chaos. The example is given . . . I have several times mentioned that, that just like in this body, there is division: the head division, the arms division, the belly division and the leg division. They are all required.

Everyone is distrust, unhappiness, godlessness. Because the intelligent class of men is finished.
