So quick on it. It is NOT the right direction. YOU have got it backwards. Brahmacari is ASRAMA, not varna. They want to make everyone a brahmacari first without any regard to ones natural varna. A sudra never takes brahmacari asrama, only grihasta asrama. First there should be entry into a varnasrama college to determine what work each new or old bhakta is fitted for. "Devotee: So in our movement the leaders must decide how every devotee and every resource is engaged properly. Srila Prabhupada: Yes. That is leadership. Which man is fitted for which work. Atreya Rsi: Utilization of all resources, including devotees, funds and everything? Srila Prabhupada: Yes. The first thing is to see that everyone is engaged. How they are to be engaged, that requires leadership." You are "so quick" to fault my reasoning yet never provide scriptural reference or quotes from Srila Prabhupada. If someone is going in the wrong direction according to Srila Prabhupada it is our duty to reference the quotes from guru which clarify the proper direction. It's not like we are directing them into a hellish situation; we are directing them into their natural positions of service from which they will actually be happy. What's wrong with this?
