Therefore, in all four spiritual orders and four grades of social life, devotional service to the Lord is essential. Without this relationship, all the regulative principles of var\u1e47a and \u0101\u015brama become burdensome duties, as they have in the age of Kali. When the regulative principles have no aim, the var\u1e47as become a caste system and the \u0101\u015bramas become the business of various shopkeepers. All these anomalies of the present social system can be reformed only by cultivation of the human spirit in the devotional service of the Lord. [...] As long as one is attached to the so-called responsibilities of family burdens, he is always full of cares and anxieties about meeting his family expenses. The four orders of social life, as designed in the var\u1e47\u0101\u015brama system, are very scientific and cooperative. In student life one is taught the primary principles of the human form of life. One who enters the householder's life can execute the duties of a family man because he has already been trained for this job in the brahmacarya-\u0101\u015brama.... [...] There are two different kinds of religious preachers. One of them is called the professional preacher, and the other is called the \u0101c\u0101rya. The professional preachers are like the rainfall from the sky, but the \u0101c\u0101ryas are like waterfalls. The professional traders in Bh\u0101gavatam and R\u0101m\u0101ya\u1e47a will speak from the portion of the scripture that will appeal to the mundane senses of the audience. The \u0101c\u0101rya is he who knows the scriptures well and teaches his disciples in terms of the disciple's capacity to understand and advance in spiritual realization. Therefore he sometimes speaks and sometimes does not speak. The holy messages of Godhead have to be received from the realized soul, and not from the professional man. links where to read the book: biglink.to/lightofthebhagavata & photos of all the illustrations are here www.sravanamdiaries.com/light-of-the-bhagavata/ & please follow our facebook.com/sravanamdiaries and instagram.com/sravanamdiaries pages for paintings per episode and more interesting posts
