Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 5, Ch. 1]
because in  Bhagavad-gītā  it is said that the determining considerations are  guṇa  and  karma , one's qualities and work. It is this  daiva-var-ṇāśrama  that should be established all over the world to continue a perfect society for Kṛṣṇa consciousness. This may be astonishing to foolish critics, but it is one of the functions of a Kṛṣṇa conscious society.
