The Goal of Yoga li

Suppose there is a body without a head—it is a dead body. If
the body is now intact, but there is no head, it is called a dead
lnody. The head is considered to be the intellectual part of the
hody. Similarly, if there is no brahmana in the society, it is a
dead body. If there is no spiritual man in the society, it is a
lead society.

Therefore Krsna says, “I have created the four divisions of
society, according to quality and work.” If someone is working
us a brahmacari-brahmana and has acquired the quality of
understanding Krsna, the Supreme Lord, then why should he
le called for army action? The arm of the body is the ksatriya.
Of course that is required; to protect the country, to protect
Ihe society, a military arrangement should be there. No one
will disapprove. But not the brahmanas. It is putting a race
horse before the work cart. A race horse is required for dif-
ferent purposes. The other beasts of burden—asses, mules, and
oxen—are required for pulling carts.

| say this frankly—everyone may read it—that any society
where there are no spiritual persons or Krsna consciousness is a
rascal society, because it has no head. Where there is a headless
man, there is a dead body. And if there is no brain, there is no
lead; if the brain is not working properly then he is a madman;
if he has no head at all, then he is a dead man.

Io you think that in a dead society or a mad society there
can be any peace? No. If the society is full of madmen, then
where is the question of peace? Therefore Krsna consciousness
is Lhe most important study in present-day society. The men
who are leading the society, the President and the Secretary of
Nefense should have the intelligence to understand this science.
of the soul.

The other day when coming to your country I met a secre-
lary of the Japanese government in Tokyo. I wanted to explain
\o him that he should cooperate with this movement, but he
said, “Oh, we cannot cooperate with any religious movement.”
