Contribution of Each
Class in Society
<1>Each of the active classes in human
society (Shudras,
Ksattriyas,
Vipras,
Vaeshyas, and
Brahmins) have contributed to many facets of human society. All
of them are necessary in the human march to perfection.
Shudras:
(Laborers):
<2>All the basic physical tasks are done by this class.
a-Good trends: <3>They do the
basic tasks in society. They play an important part in the
economy. They do the tasks so the other classes are able to
concentrate on other things.
b-Bad trends: <4>They have
limited ability to channel their frustrations to a collective,
beneficial endeavor, so in the time of social change they create
chaos in society or show their discontentment in an unnatural
individual way, such as revenge.
<5>Sometimes they
unreasonably demand higher wages through collective bargaining,
so they artificially can increase the cost of commodities.
Ksattriyas:
<6>Those who lead the society toward new changes; those with
leadership abilities.
a-Good trends: <7>They lead the
revolutions and bring new conditions to society. They discipline
the society in a way to achieve higher levels in its progress.
They protect society from intruders and criminals.
b-Bad trends: <8>They are
authoritative. They fear changes when they are in power, and
have a military mentality, believing that everything can be
solved by force.
Vipras:
<9>The brains of the society, the head.
a-Good trends: <10>They are the
inventors, scientists, administrators, advisors of the leaders,
researchers, members of the committees, etc. They help in the
advancement of the human standard of living. The more intuitive
ones are artists,
writers, painters, etc.
b-Bad trends: <11>They tend
toward excessive love for sensual enjoyment, creation of binding
ideas, and development of religious doctrines and superstitions
(intellectual
spiritualists). They have excessive love for individual
freedom and democracy (self-centeredness).
Vaeshyas:
<12>The controllers and directors of the economic resources.
a-Good trends: <13>They have
abilities to combine and use physical resources and intellectual
ideas for useful and economical commodities. They are able to
distribute these commodities from the manufacturing sites to
where they will be used. Also, they help in increasing the
standard of living in society.
b-Bad trends: <14>They tend
toward excessive love for hoarding physical wealth, so this
creates suffering for others (greed). They try to substitute
business values for all other human values.
Brahmins:
<15>The spiritualists, those who are more interested in the
Laws of the Lord than the laws of men (they are different than
intellectual spiritualists), so they are familiar with those
Laws.
a-Good trends: <16>They seek
God rather than
attachment to the material world (Maya).
They pursue a simple life and therefore are not burdensome on
nature. They are comforters for many as a symbol of the champion
of
God. They are the
Holy men.
b-Bad Trends: <17>They might
become escapists and believe the world is an illusion, and use
the excuse of being
Holy men for escaping
the realities of the external world.
<18>Each class, through their good trends,
helps in human progress, and through their bad ones, interferes with
its progress. So anytime the bad trends start to appear,
Paravipras would know that it is time to change the course of society
for further progress.
