Text 27] The Perfect Society: Four Social Classes 47

varnas and four aSramas, but in varna-sankara society there are no such
distinctions, and no one can know who is who. In such a society, no one
can distinguish between a bréhmana, a ksatriya, a vaisya and a Sidra.
For peace and happiness in the material world, the varndsrama institu-
tion must be introduced. The symptoms of one’s activities must be
defined, and one must be educated accordingly. Then spiritual advance-
ment will automatically be possible.
