"Vedic civilization takes advantage of the perfect knowledge presented in the <i>Vedas</i> and presented by great sages and <i>brāhmaṇas</i> for the benefit of human society. Vedic injunctions are known as <i>śruti,</i> and the additional supplementary presentations of these principles, as given by the great sages, are known as <i>smṛti.</i> They follow the principles of Vedic instruction. Human society should take advantage of the instructions from both <i>śruti</i> and <i>smṛti.</i> If one wants to advance in spiritual life, he must take these instructions and follow the principles. In <i>Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu,</i> Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī says that if one poses himself as advanced in spiritual life but does not refer to the <i>śrutis</i> and <i>smṛtis</i> he is simply a disturbance in society. One should follow the principles laid down in <i>śrutis</i> and <i>smṛtis</i> not only in one's spiritual life but in material life as well. As far as human society is concerned, it should follow the <i>Manu-smṛti</i> as well, for these laws are given by Manu, the father of mankind.",
|
||||
"In the <i>Manu-smṛti</i> it is stated that a woman should not be given independence, but should be given protection by her father, husband and elderly sons. In all circumstances a woman should remain dependent upon some guardian. Presently women are given full independence like men, but actually we can see that such independent women are no happier than those women who are placed under guardians. If people follow the injunctions given by the great sages, <i>śrutis</i> and <i>smṛtis,</i> they can actually be happy in both this life and the next. Unfortunately rascals are manufacturing so many ways and means to be happy. Everyone is inventing so many methods. Consequently human society has lost the standard ways of life, both materially and spiritually, and as a result people are bewildered, and there is no peace happiness in the world. Although they are trying to solve the problems of human society in the United Nations, they are still baffled. Because they do not follow the liberated instructions of the <i>Vedas,</i> they are unhappy.",
|
||||
"Two significant words used in this verse are <i>asmin</i> and <i>amuṣmin.</i> <i>Asmin</i> means \"in this life,\" and <i>amuṣmin</i> means \"in the next life.\" Unfortunately in this age, even exalted professors and learned men believe that there is no next life and that everything is finished in this life. Since they are rascals and fools, what advice can they give? Still they are passing as learned scholars and professors. In this verse the word <i>amuṣmin</i> is very explicit. It is the duty of everyone to mold his life in such a way that he will have a profitable next life. Just as a boy is educated in order to become happy later, one should be educated in this life in order to attain an eternal and prosperous life after death. It is therefore essential that people follow what is given in the <i>śrutis</i> and <i>smṛtis</i> to make sure that the human mission is successful."

"The Vedic principles (<i>mahājano yena gataḥ sa panthāḥ</i>) urge us to follow in the footsteps of great liberated souls. In this way we can receive benefit in both this life and the next, and we can also improve our material life. By following the principles laid down by great sages and saints of the past, we can very easily understand the aim of all life. The word <i>avaraḥ,</i> meaning \"inexperienced,\" is very significant in this verse. Every conditioned soul is inexperienced. Everyone is <i>abodha jāta</i>—born a fool and rascal. In democratic government at the present moment all kinds of fools and rascals are making decisions. But what can they do? What is the result of their legislation? They enact something today just to whimsically repeal it tomorrow. One political party utilizes a country for one purpose, and the next moment another political party forms a different type of government and nullifies all the laws and regulations. This process of chewing the chewed (<i>punaḥ punaś carvita-carvaṇānām</i>) will never make human society happy. In order to make all human society happy and prosperous, we should accept the standard methods given by liberated persons."

"At the present moment it has become fashionable to disobey the unimpeachable directions given by the <i>ācāryas</i> and liberated souls of the past. Presently people are so fallen that they cannot distinguish between a liberated soul and a conditioned soul. A conditioned soul is hampered by four defects: he is sure to commit mistakes, he is sure to become illusioned, he has a tendency to cheat others, and his senses are imperfect. Consequently we have to take direction from liberated persons. This Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement directly receives instructions from the Supreme Personality of Godhead via persons who are strictly following His instructions. Although a follower may not be a liberated person, if he follows the supreme liberated Personality of Godhead, his actions are naturally liberated from the contamination of the material nature. Lord Caitanya therefore says: \"By My order you may become a spiritual master.\" One can immediately become a spiritual master by having full faith in the transcendental words of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and by following His instructions. Materialistic men are not interested in taking directions from a liberated person, but they are very much interested in their own concocted ideas, which make them repeatedly fail in their attempts. Because the entire world is now following the imperfect directions of conditioned souls, humanity is completely bewildered."

"Lord Brahmā created this material world for the use of the living entities, but it was created according to a plan that all living entities who might come into it to dominate it for sense gratification would be given directions by Lord Brahmā in the <i>Vedas</i> in order that they might ultimately leave it and return home, back to Godhead. All necessities grown on earth—namely fruits, flowers, trees, grains, animals and animal by-products—were created for use in sacrifice for the satisfaction of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Viṣṇu. However, the planet earth in the shape of a cow herein submits that all these utilities are being used by nondevotees who have no plans for spiritual understanding. Although there are immense potencies within the earth for the production of grains, fruits and flowers, this production is checked by the earth itself when it is misused by nondevotees who have no spiritual goals. Everything belongs to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and everything can be used for His satisfaction. Things should not be used for the sense gratification of the living entities. This is the whole plan of material nature according to the directions of this material nature.",
|

"In this verse the words <i>asadbhiḥ</i> and <i>adhṛta-vrataiḥ</i> are important. The word <i>asadbhiḥ</i> refers to the nondevotees. The nondevotees have been described in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> as <i>duṣkṛtinaḥ</i> (miscreants), <i>mūḍhāḥ</i> (asses or rascals), <i>narādhamāḥ</i> (lowest of mankind) and <i>māyayāpahṛta-jñānāḥ</i> (those who have lost their knowledge to the power of the illusory energy). All these persons are <i>asat,</i> nondevotees. Nondevotees are also called <i>gṛha-vrata,</i> whereas the devotee is called <i>dhṛta-vrata.</i> According to plans, the misguided conditioned souls who have come to lord it over material nature should be trained to become <i>dhṛta-vrata.</i> This means that they should take a vow to satisfy their senses or enjoy material life only by satisfying the senses of the Supreme Lord. Activities intended to satisfy the senses of the Supreme Lord, Kṛṣṇa, are called <i>kṛṣṇārthe 'khila-ceṣṭāḥ.</i> This indicates that one can attempt all kinds of work, but one should do so to satisfy Kṛṣṇa. This is described in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> as <i>yajñārthāt karma.</i> The word <i>yajña</i> indicates Lord Viṣṇu. We should work only for His satisfaction. In modern times (Kali-yuga), however, people have forgotten Viṣṇu altogether, and they conduct their activities for sense gratification. Such people will gradually become poverty-stricken, for they cannot use things which are to be enjoyed by the Supreme Lord for their own sense gratification. If they continue like this, there will ultimately be a state of poverty, and no grains, fruits or flowers will be produced. Indeed, it is stated in the Twelfth Canto of <i>Bhāgavatam</i> that at the end of Kali-yuga people will be so polluted that there will no longer be any grains, wheat, sugar cane or milk."

"That which happened during the time of Pṛthu Mahārāja and his father, King Vena, is also happening at this present moment. A huge arrangement exists for the production of large-scale industrial and agricultural products, but all these products are meant for sense gratification. Therefore despite such productive capacities there is scarcity because the world's population is full of thieves. The word <i>corībhūte</i> indicates that the population has turned to thievery. According to Vedic understanding, men are transformed into thieves when they plan economic development for sense gratification. It is also explained in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> that if one eats food grains without offering them to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Yajña, he is a thief and liable to be punished. According to spiritual communism, all properties on the surface of the globe belong to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The population has a right to use goods only after offering them to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is the process of accepting <i>prasāda.</i> Unless one eats <i>prasāda,</i> he is certainly a thief. It is the duty of governors and kings to punish such thieves and maintain the world nicely. If this is not done, grains will no longer be produced, and people will simply starve. Indeed, not only will people be obliged to eat less, but they will kill one another and eat their own flesh. They are already killing animals for flesh, so when there will no longer be grains, vegetables and fruits, they will kill their own sons and fathers and eat their flesh for sustenance."

"When there is a scarcity of grain, the government should follow the methods prescribed in the <i>śāstra</i> and approved by the <i>ācāryas;</i> thus there will be a sufficient production of grains, and food scarcity and famine can be checked. <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> recommends that we perform <i>yajña,</i> sacrifices. By the performance of <i>yajña,</i> sufficient clouds gather in the sky, and when there are sufficient clouds, there is also sufficient rainfall. In this way agricultural matters are taken care of. When there is sufficient grain production, the general populace eats the grains, and animals like cows, goats and other domestic animals eat the grasses and grains also. According to this arrangement, human beings should perform the sacrifices recommended in the <i>śāstras,</i> and if they do so there will no longer be food scarcity. In Kali-yuga, the only sacrifice recommended is <i>saṅkīrtana-yajña.</i>",
|
||||
"In this verse there are two significant words: <i>yogena,</i> \"by the approved method,\" and <i>dṛṣṭena,</i> \"as exemplified by the former <i>ācāryas.</i>\" One is mistaken if he thinks that by applying modern machines such as tractors, grains can be produced. If one goes to a desert and uses a tractor, there is still no possibility of producing grains. We may adopt various means, but it is essential to know that the planet earth will stop producing grains if sacrifices are not performed. The earth has already explained that because nondevotees are enjoying the production of food, she has reserved food seeds for the performance of sacrifice. Now, of course, atheists will not believe in this spiritual method of producing grains, but whether they believe or not, the fact remains that we are not independent to produce grain by mechanical means. As far as the approved method is concerned, it is enjoined in the <i>śāstras</i> that intelligent men in this age will take to the <i>saṅkīrtana</i> movement, and by so doing they shall worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead Lord Caitanya, whose bodily complexion is golden, and who is always accompanied by His confidential devotees to preach this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement all over the world. In its present condition, the world can only be saved by introducing this <i>saṅkīrtana,</i> this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. As we have learned from the previous verse, one who is not in Kṛṣṇa consciousness is considered a thief. Even though he may be very materially advanced, a thief cannot be placed in a comfortable position. A thief is a thief, and he is punishable. Because people are without Kṛṣṇa consciousness, they have become thieves, and consequently they are being punished by the laws of material nature. No one can check this, not even by introducing so many relief funds and humanitarian institutions. Unless the people of the world take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, there will be a scarcity of food and much suffering."

Just as a calf can derive milk from a cow, all living entities—including animals, birds, bees, reptiles, aquatics, etc.—can receive their respective foods from the planet earth provided that human beings are not <i>asat</i>, or <i>adhṛta-vrata</i>, as we have previously discussed. When human society becomes <i>asat</i>, or ungodly, or devoid of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, the entire world suffers. If human beings are well-behaved, animals will also receive sufficient food and be happy. The ungodly human being, ignorant of his duty to give protection and food to the animals, kills them to compensate for the insufficient production of grains. Thus no one is satisfied, and that is the cause for the present condition in today's world."

Thus the planet earth requested Mahārāja Pṛthu to level the surface of the earth, breaking up the high land and mountains."

"The planet earth is also called <i>vasundharā.</i> The word <i>vasu</i> means \"wealth,\" and <i>dharā</i> means \"one who holds.\" All creatures within the earth fulfill the necessities required for human beings, and all living entities can be taken out of the earth by the proper means. As suggested by the planet earth, and accepted and initiated by King Pṛthu, whatever is taken from the earth—either from the mines, from the surface of the globe or from the atmosphere—should always be considered the property of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and should be used for Yajña, Lord Viṣṇu. As soon as the process of <i>yajña</i> is stopped, the earth will withhold all productions—vegetables, trees, plants, fruits, flowers, other agricultural products and minerals, etc. As confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> the process of <i>yajña</i> was instituted from the beginning of creation. By the regular performance of <i>yajña,</i> the equal distribution of wealth, and the restriction of sense gratification, the entire world will be made peaceful and prosperous. As already mentioned, in this age of Kali the simple performance of <i>saṅkīrtana-yajña</i>—the holding of festivals as initiated by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness—should be introduced in every town and village. Intelligent men should encourage the performance of <i>saṅkīrtana-yajña</i> by their personal behavior. This means that they should follow the process of austerity by restricting themselves from illicit sex life, meat-eating, gambling and intoxication. If the intelligent men, or the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> of society, would follow the rules and regulations, certainly the entire face of this present world, which is in such chaotic condition, would change, and people would be happy and prosperous."

If human society remains satisfied simply by taking grains from the planet earth as well as other necessities for maintaining the body, society will not be sufficiently prosperous. Humanity must have food for the mind and ear, as well as for the purpose of vibration.

In Kali-yuga, if this Vedic <i>mahā-mantra</i> is chanted regularly and heard regularly by the devotional process of <i>śravaṇaṁ kīrtanam,</i> it will purify all societies, and thus humanity will be happy both materially and spiritually."

The demons born of Diti take great pleasure in drinking wine and beer. Even today people of demoniac nature are very much addicted to liquor and beer. The name of Prahlāda Mahārāja is very significant in this connection. Because Prahlāda Mahārāja was born in a family of demons, as the son of Hiraṇyakaśipu, by his mercy the demons were and still are able to have their drinks in the form of wine and beer. The word <i>ayaḥ</i> (iron) is very significant. Whereas the nectarean <i>soma</i> was put in a golden pot, the liquors and beers were put in an iron pot. Because the liquor and beer are inferior, they are placed in an iron pot, and because <i>soma-rasa</i> is superior, it is placed in a golden pot."

"In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> it is said, <i>pitèn yānti pitṛ-vratāḥ.</i> Those who are interested in family welfare are called <i>pitṛ-vratāḥ.</i> There is a planet called Pitṛloka, and the predominating deity of that planet is called Aryamā. He is somewhat of a demigod, and by satisfying him one can help ghostly family members develop a gross body. Those who are very sinful and attached to their family, house, village or country do not receive a gross body made of material elements but remain in a subtle body, composed of mind, ego and intelligence. Those who live in such subtle bodies are called ghosts. This ghostly position is very painful because a ghost has intelligence, mind and ego and wants to enjoy material life, but because he doesn't have a gross material body, he can only create disturbances for want of material satisfaction. It is the duty of family members, especially the son, to offer oblations to the demigod Aryamā, or Lord Viṣṇu. From time immemorial in India the son of a dead man goes to Gayā and, at a Viṣṇu temple there, offers oblations for the benefit of his ghostly father. It is not that everyone's father becomes a ghost, but the oblations of <i>piṇḍa</i> are offered to the lotus feet of Lord Viṣṇu so that if a family member happens to become a ghost, he will be favored with a gross body. However, if one is habituated to taking the <i>prasāda</i> of Lord Viṣṇu, there is no chance of his becoming a ghost or anything lower than a human being. In Vedic civilization there is a performance called <i>śrāddha</i> by which food is offered with faith and devotion. If one offers oblations with faith and devotion—either to the lotus feet of Lord Viṣṇu or to His representative in Pitṛloka, Aryamā—one's forefathers will attain material bodies to enjoy whatever material enjoyment is due them. In other words, they do not have to become ghosts."

They have been placed under the control of Rudra. Rudra is the incarnation of Lord Śiva and is in charge of the mode of ignorance in material nature.

However, if one supplies milk to a talented sage or saint, the sage will develop finer brain tissues by which he can contemplate higher spiritual life.

Thus the planning of cities and towns is not a modern innovation but was existing in bygone ages."
