| Vedic religion means varnasrama-dharma. Krsna says -- God says -- catur-varnyam maya srstam: [Bg. 4.13] "For spiritual and material progress, the four occupational divisions of society have been set up by Me." So that is obligatory, just as the state law is obligatory. You cannot say, "I don't accept this law." No. You have to accept it if you want to have a happy life. You cannot become an outlaw. Then you'll not be happy. You'll be punished. Now, God says, maya srstam: "This varnasrama system is given by Me." So how can we refuse to follow it? that means we are denying the real religion. Dharmam tu saksad bhagavat-pranitam: [SB 6.3.19] real dharma, real religion, means the order given by God. And God says, catur-varnyam maya srstam guna-karma-vibhagasah: [Bg. 4.13] "For the proper management of human society, I have created these four social divisions, based on people's qualities and actions." So you have to accept it. Pusta Krsna: This would be the prescription for all people? Srila Prabhupada: For everyone. At the head of the social body there must be the intelligent class of men, who will give advice; then there must be the administrative and protective class, the farming and mercantile class, and the laboring class. This is all given in the Bhagavad-gita: brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, sudra. But when you fully surrender to Krsna, you can give up all the regulations pertaining to these four social classes. That is why Krsna says, sarva-dharman parityajya: [Bg. 18.66] "In the ultimate issue, My instruction is to give up all religious formularies" -- including even Vedic formularies -- "and simply surrender to Me." "Brahmana-dharma," "ksatriya-dharma,""Hindu dharma," this dharma, that dharma -- give all these up and simply surrender to Krsna, because the ultimate aim of dharma is to come to Krsna. "You directly come to Me; then everything is all right." Disciple: So many people concoct their own system and say, "This is the way to go to God." Srila Prabhupada: Then let them suffer. What can be done? If you don't accept the laws of the state and you manufacture your own laws, then you'll suffer. The state says, "Keep to the right." But if you make your own law -- "No, I will keep to the left" -- then you'll suffer. It's a fact. Krsna is personally advising: sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja: [Bg. 18.66] "Give up all your concocted religions and surrender to Me alone." take His advice and be happy. |
