1. Don’t blame the government

    It is foretold herein that in the absence of a monarchical regime the general mass of people will be an unwanted population like dogs and monkeys. As the monkeys are too sexually inclined and the dogs are shameless in sexual intercourse, the general mass of population born of illegitimate connection will systematically go astray from the Vedic way of good manners and qualitative engagements in the castes and orders of life.

    The Vedic way of life is the progressive march of the civilization of the Aryans. The Aryans are progressive in Vedic civilization. The Vedic civilization’s destination is to go back to Godhead, back home, where there is no birth, no death, no old age and no disease. The Vedas direct everyone not to remain in the darkness of the material world but to go towards the light of the spiritual kingdom, far beyond the material sky. The qualitative caste system and the orders of life are scientifically planned by the Lord and His representatives, the great rsis. This perfect way of life gives all sorts of instruction in matters both material and spiritual. The Vedic way of life does not allow any man to be like the monkeys and dogs, following mammon’s philosophy of simply devoting oneself to economic development for sense gratification. Such a degraded civilization of sense gratification and economic development is the by-product of a godless or kingless government of the people, by the people, and for the people. The people should not, therefore, blame the poor administrations they themselves elect.
