The society should be divided into four classes of men. The persons who are really possessing brain, that is Kṛṣṇa consciousness men. So at the present moment there is need of such men. What kind of men? Kṛṣṇa conscious. What is that Kṛṣṇa conscious man? One who knows himself and knows God. That is first-class intelligent man. The society is now practically is composed of the legs and the belly. The hands and heads are gone of the human society. So there is confusion, because there is no head who can give you good consultation how life should be led, how we should make progress in life, how we shall fulfill our human mission of life. The head is gone. The . . . in every country, those who are supposed to be on the counselor in the matter of giving people good ideas how to conduct society, that men, class of men, is finished now. Similarly, the administrative class of men.

Now it is days of democracy; there is no trained administrators. Anyone from the third-class, fourth-class grade of society, if somehow or other he gets some vote, he comes to the power. But that should not be there. Everyone should be educated. A kṣatriya . . . formerly there was king according to Vedic idea. The kings were sufficiently educated how to administer the citizens, how to give them all comforts. Just like in Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira's time, you will find from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, you'll see that people were so happy that even there was no excessive heat or excessive cold, and nobody was anxious; everyone was free.
