Science of self realisation

[Guest guest]

Dear Prabhus and Matajis,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

I was killing time here with Srila Prabhupada's Science of Self Realisation.

When I gave a little attention to what I was reading I was shocked by

Prabhupada's strength, boldness and clarity. Here are a couple of excerpts.

 

BTG: Has God also divised the most perfect government?

 

Srila Prabhupada: Oh yes. The ksatriyas ruled the government in Vedic times.

When there was a war, the king was the first to fight. Just like your George

Washington: he fought when there was a war. But what kind of president is

ruling now? When there is a war, he sits very securely and telephones

orders. He's not fit to be president. When there is a war, the president

should be the first one to come forward and lead the battle.

 

BTG: But if man is small and imperfect, how can he execute God's perfect

orders for a perfect government?

 

Srila Prabhupada: Although you may be imperfect, because you are carrying

out my order, you're becoming perfect. You have accepted me as your leader,

and I have accepted God as my leader. In this way society can be governed

perfectly.

 

BTG: So good government means first of all to accept the Supreme being as

the real ruler of government?

 

Srila Prabhupada: You cannot directly accept the Supreme Being. You must

accept the servants of the Supreme Being-the brahmanas or the Vaisnavas

(devotees of the Lord)-as your guides. The government men are ksatriyas-the

second class. The ksatriyas should take advice from the brahmanas or

Vaisnavas and make laws accordingly. The vaisyas should carry out the

ksatriyas' ordes in practice. And the sudras should work under these three

orders. Then society will be perfect.

 

 

Just imagine what will happen if government takes advice from learned

devotees! We wait chanting Hare Krsna!

 

Your servant,
