The secret of government

   The brahmana class educated in spiritual realization, is able to move the whole of society towards the goal of self-realization. Because one man is qualified at the lowest place now does not mean he must remain there or that his children will be outcasts. This improper understanding of the varna-ashrama system has further eroded its practice. In real practice the brahmana is not haughty and proud of his being society's leader but rather he is motivated by a deep desire and need to elevate each soul. This spiritual potency then infects the whole body politic.

The Four Orders

The brahmana must be advanced in understanding the soul and God. He must undergo special training to attain self-realization in order to advise the second class called kshatriyas or adminstrators. Administrators are then the political section but they also undergo highly specialized preperation as they must be able to be trusted to carry out moral leadership and unflinching in battle.Therefore we see that modern scholars and modern politicians do not measure up to these standards...however, this training can be begun all over the world.-Md
