Adi-ltla, Chapter 8 175
tada rajas-tamo-bhavah

kama-lobhadayas ca ye

(Bhag. 1.2.18-19)
Considering the chaotic condition of human society, if one actually wants peace
and tranquility, one must take to the Krsna consciousness movement and engage
always in bhagavata-dharma. Engagement in bhagavata-dharma dissipates all igno-
rance and passion, and when ignorance and passion are dissipated one is freed from
greed and lust. When freed from greed and lust, one becomes brahminically qualified,
and when a brahminically qualified person makes further advancement, he becomes
situated on the Vaisnava platform. It is only on this Vaisnava platform that it is
possible to awaken one’s dormant love of Godhead, and as soon as one does so, his

life is successful.

At present, human society is specifically cultivating the mode of ignorance
(tamo-guna), although there may also be some symptoms of passion (rajo-guna).
Full of kama and /obha, lust and greed, the entire population of the world consists
mostly of sudras and a few vaisyas, and gradually it is coming about that there are
sudras only. Communism is a movement of sudras, and capitalism is meant for
vaisyas. \n the fighting between these two factions, the sudras and vaisyas, gradually,
due to the abominable condition of society, the communists will emerge trium-
phant, and as soon as this takes place, whatever is left of society will be ruined. The
only possible remedy that can counteract the tendency toward communism is the
Krsna consciousness movement, which can give even communists the real idea of
communist society. According to the doctrine of communism, the state should be
the proprietor of everything. But the Krsna consciousness movement, expanding this
same idea, accepts God as the proprietor of everything. People can’t understand
this because they have no sense of God, but the Krsna consciousness movement
can help them to understand God and to understand that everything belongs to
God. Since everything isthe property of God, and all living entities—not only human
beings but even animals, birds, plants and so on—are children of God, everyone
has the right to live at the cost of God with God consciousness. This is the sum
and substance of the Krsna consciousness movement.
