TRANSLATION

 

According to the three modes of material nature and the work ascribed to them,

the four divisions of human society were created by Me. And, although I am the

creator of this system, you should know that I am yet the non-doer, being

unchangeable.

 

PURPORT

 

The Lord is the creator of everything. Everything is born of Him, everything

is sustained by Him, and everything, after annihilation, rests in Him. He is

therefore the creator of the four divisions of the social order, beginning with

the intelligent class of men, technically called brahmanas due to their being

situated in the mode of goodness. Next is the administrative class, technically

called the ksatriyas due to their being situated in the mode of passion. The

mercantile men, called the vaisyas, are situated in the mixed modes of passion

and ignorance, and the sudras, or laborer class, are situated in the ignorant

mode of material nature. In spite of His creating the four divisions of human

society, Lord Krsna does not belong to any of these divisions, because He is

not one of the conditioned souls, a section of whom form human society. Human

society is similar to any other animal society, but to elevate men from the

animal status, the above-mentioned divisions are created by the Lord for the

systematic development of Krsna consciousness. The tendency of a particular man

toward work is determined by the modes of material nature which he has acquired.

Such symptoms of life, according to different modes of material nature, are

described in the Eighteenth Chapter of this book. A person in Krsna

consciousness, however, is above even the brahmanas, because a brahmana by

quality is supposed to know about Brahman, the Supreme Absolute Truth. Most of

them approach the impersonal Brahman manifestation of Lord Krsna, but only a

man who transcends the limited knowledge of a brahmana and reaches the

knowledge of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krsna, becomes a

person in Krsna consciousness--or, in other words, a Vaisnava. Krsna

consciousness includes knowledge of all different plenary expansions of Krsna,

namely Rama, Nrsimha, Varaha, etc. However, as Krsna is transcendental to this

system of the four divisions of human society, a person in Krsna consciousness

is also transcendental to all divisions of human society, whether we consider

the divisions of community, nation or species.
