Category:Intelligent Class of Men
Theme Analysis
This category identifies the Intelligent Class of Men as the brāhmaṇas, who are the spiritual and intellectual brain of society in the varṇāśrama system. A properly functioning human society requires this class to be composed of men who are purified, engaged in studying Vedic literatures, and knowledgeable of God. The quotes emphasize that a lack of this intelligent class results in a chaotic social condition, as the administrative, mercantile, and laboring classes are left without proper guidance. Kṛṣṇa consciousness is presented as the movement specifically designed to create and recruit the first-class intelligent men who are truly capable of understanding the philosophical and scientific value of the mission.
- The Definition: The Intelligent Class of Men are the brāhmaṇas, who are situated in the mode of goodness, keep themselves purified, and know what is God.
- The Social Role: This class provides the direction and guidance necessary to keep society in a peaceful, cooperative condition.
- The Kṛṣṇa Consciousness Mandate: Only the first-class intelligent men are considered catura (very intelligent) enough to surrender to Kṛṣṇa, proving the movement's high philosophical standard.
