tion therefore that we can go to other planets in the present body. If we want to go to Devaloka, the planets of the demigods, we must achieve the required qualifications, and the same is true if we want to go back to the kingdom of God. If we want to remain on this planet in some better condition of life, that also will depend on the required achievements. In any case, those achievements can be fulfilled just after one leaves the body.
The merchants, preachers, kings, and students form the four important sections of human society. The merchants should see that everyone gets his proper share of the food given as a gift by God. The  sannyasī  preachers should go from door to door to preach the sense of God consciousness, not to build  maṭhas  and temples but to enlighten the people. The king should go out from his home to see with his own eyes how things are going on. (Mahārāj Parīkṣit, while on tour, saw a man — Kali — attempting to kill a cow, so the king at once punished him.) And students should gather knowledge wherever it is available. The combined work of these four sections is meant for the general welfare of society. ■
