Human society is divided into two classes of men, namely Dira and Adira. Dira mean sober, dira people are always in the mood of goodness, and adira is the opposite of them. The sober person is mostly very easy to make spiritual progress, because he is undisturbed by the duality of material nature like the happiness or distress, joy or pain, hot or call, etc. in other world that person able to perform his regulated religious principle in whatever the circumstances. Those are Dira are supposed to guide and lead of the adira. In that way adira person can also gradually come to the spiritual platform.
Similarly in the Bhudish society there are two classes also, first is monastery people and non monastery people. The monastery people live in Buddhist pagoda and engage in various services to temple, leading the religious ceremony, practicing meditation and taking certain precept; not to eat after 12 noon, not sleep on high bed, not intoxicated, gambling, or sex intercourse, not speak lie, not stealing, and not fighting with others. And many more precepts are followed by a senior monk or lay man, lay women. The second are people stay outside, those people have a responsibility to caring the monastery people by offering the donation, clothes, food, building, land, and what ever they need. In that we they serve the monastery people and taking the advantage to ask the guidance of life, and mercy as well. Even though the non monastery people not able to practice the meditation continuously or performing the precepts, by serving the monastery people he still get the mercy to able advance in spiritual life.
This society in Buddhist prominent related to the King, like during the life of Sidartha Gautama Buddha, there was present King Asoka. King Asoka ruled over both monastery and outside monastery people, and to make sure every body was engage in their duty. In the ancient Vedic story we also found many powerful kings as Sri Rama, Yudisthira Maharaja, Prithu Maharaja, Ambharis Maharaja, etc. They are famous in leading the society toward spiritual emancipation. Those kings never fail in giving the protection to the principle of dharma, nor also do they fail in giving the protection, good administration, and prosperity to the Kingdom. King will always take advice from the saintly person, in other to make perfect decisions. In that ways the monarchic was never corrupted. King and the priest (saintly person) are going hand in hand to directing and lead the society in general which most of them are Adira.
The rest of societies are the production communities and labour. Production basically only for what we need; first is food, than clothes, medicine, and house. Actually according the tradition all those necessary of our body are available in the nature. And in ancient time the people who are engage in production are easily getting all those from land and cows. Labour also happily in their service job; they got sufficient food, shelter, protection from their master. At the end of the day they done all the work nicely, and take rest sufficiently, without no anxiety.
Like that the economic problem is solve, social relationship between individual also keep very nicely because all people are interdependent one with another. Right and responsibility to other is the basic. Citizens are having spiritual consciousness; that every one must to engage in serving the Supreme Lord according to their capability, right and responsibility. Learning, loving and serving are the fruits of their interdependent relation. In that way all people in peace mentality.
In this present day the degradation of human civilisations has cross to the religious places. The practice has been going on without perfect philosophy, degradation of quality of the priest or religious leaders, and the corrupted government tried to use the religion as the weapon to control people.
The development of human society is growing downward, sloping into very low standard, even the bodily necessity of life people are getting in very low quality. Simply for sleep, eat, mating and demanding, people are misunderstood in doing that. Some time people not sleep enough, some people sleep to much, we sleep in the artificial rooms and many kind machine been surrounded as. The food that we eat contain so much chemical, all destroy the health. People consume too much cholesterol; all that meet stuff. No more natural food, all is come from factory. Long time ago people like to cook their own food, they cook it with love and offer to the God, in that way by honouring the food already offer to God their consciousness became purified.
Mating and demanding also become a big problem. There is no restriction in relationship between man and women, all are mixing, and what is happen, people mind all become so lustful. Mainly for sex and make their couple enjoy, people do every thing include something which actually unnecessary. The ego are spread, “I and my” this are my, i will do what ever to protect it. Than the problem of demanding are appear, all try to protect their own and capture what ever they don’t have, like that people endeavour in cheating, stealing, gambling even killing. Than drinking wine, alcohol became prominent in the society, people mind are very disturb, the could not tolerate to see other people happy, joules, no love, no attitude to serve, hellish society of godless consciousness. Now no more saintly person because are everybody selling their knowledge for the benefit of their own. Than the mean goals of life which to self realise are not been fulfil.
This are whole situation of the present world, and actually if we deeply realise within our heart. We may want to do something, that thing must come first from our heart self, by heart we than taking an action.
Chanting; Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare is the way to revive spiritual happiness, and that will be so much easier when we already set up the understanding of the important simple life high thinking, and try as much as possible to practice in our life. Actually when people take up this simple live style in systematic rolling of the wedic society naturally people will materially happy and they will automatically involve in chanting the Maha Mantra, perfect happiness both material and spiritual will be there. Of course devotee mode is only to be a servant of servant of servant of Krishna servant. Devotee no bother about he material condition, but in the same time for guiding the Adira person that system are require to be followed. Preserving all that traditional secret culture for our society is the good way to make people especially to be happy, than they will chant nicely.
Hare Krishna
