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.
