Vaehsya = berwatak pedagang Vipra = terpelajar) SHÚDRA (Worker) REVOLUTION AND SADVIPRA (Moralist) SOCIETY The inevitable consequence of vaeshya exploitation is shu'dra revolution. When the vaeshyas, maddened with excessive greed, lose their common sense completely and forsake their humanity totally, then for shu'dra revolution the opportune time has come. However, it cannot be said that shu'dra revolution will automatically occur just because an opportune time has come. Proper conditions relating to place and person will bear much of the responsibility. Revolution takes place when, from the economic perspective, only two classes remain in society: the exploiting vaeshyas and the exploited shu'dras. But if there are no vipras and ks'attriyas from a mental standpoint -- in other words if there are no people who, though shu'dras from an economic standpoint, are vipras or ks'attriyas from a mental standpoint -- shu'dra revolution will not be possible. It is not the work of people who have a shu'dra mentality to bring about revolution. They avoid struggle; they are playthings of the vaeshyas. At the high point of the Vaeshya Age, the vaeshyas easily manipulate the shu'dra-minded shu'dras. If the ks'attriya- and vipra-minded shu'dras lack spirit, they will also be bought by the vaeshyas' money. Thus shu'dra revolution ultimately depends on shu'dras who have sufficient spirit and are mentally vipras or ks'attriyas. Obstacles to Revolution Those who want to bring about proletariat revolution with the help of manual labourers only will not succeed unless they take into consideration the mentality of the people involved. Shu'dra-minded people do not understand their own problems; they do not even have the courage to dream about solving them. No matter how well labour leaders explain the problems to them or how fiery their lectures on the need for struggle be, it will not have any influence over their minds. They will spend their time eating, drinking, and getting violently drunk. They cannot think about who in their families is eating properly or getting an education or not. If their bosses increase their wages, they will merely spend more on their addiction; their standard of living will not be raised. That is why I say that such people do not and cannot bring about a shu'dra revolution. It is not only undesirable but also foolish for those who want to bring about revolution to depend on such people; their static nature will thwart its movement, their cowardice will prematurely extinguish the fire of revolution. Besides this type of mentality, national and religious traditions also often thwart revolution. It is extremely difficult for ks'attriya- and vipra-minded shu'dras to go against such traditions, let alone shu'dra-minded shu'dras. People become averse to revolution due to the following ideas: "Whatever is fated will happen; does fighting accomplish anything?"; "Our days are somehow passing by, so why should we trouble ourselves?"; or incorrect interpretations of the nis'ka'ma karmava'da [doctrine of desireless action] of the Giita' or other scriptures. In fact, a subtle analysis will reveal that the policy of establishing a welfare state on a democratic base is also an obstacle to revolution; as are the ideals of Gandhism and the high-sounding theory of democratic socialism. The Bhu'da'n movement is also a reactionary movement in this way. Although I have high regard for the founders of Gandhism and the Bhu'da'n movement -- as men they are second to none -- their philosophies are extremely harmful for poor people. Some of the philosophical interpretations of janma'ntarava'da [the doctrine of transmigration of souls, or reincarnation] also oppose revolution; that is, they argue, "You are starving in this life because you committed many sins in your last life, so what is the point of launching a movement? Destiny cannot be changed." That is why I have said that ks'attriya- and vipra-minded shu'dras will bring about the people's revolution. For this, these shu'dras will have to be thoroughly prepared, suffer a lot and make great sacrifices. They will have to fight against opposing groups and doctrines. The Pioneers of Revolution It is very easy to talk big about revolution. Audiences may be awestruck and applaud, but to actually bring about a revolution is not at all easy. Those ks'attriya- or vipra-minded shu'dras who are the pioneers of revolution will have to learn to be disciplined, take proper revolutionary training, build their character, be moralists; in a word, they will have to become what I call sadvipras. A sadvipra will not launch a movement against honest people, even if he or she does not like them. But a sadvipra will definitely take action against dishonest people, even if he or she likes them. In such matters it will not do to indulge any kind of mental weakness. Such strict, ideological sadvipras will be the messengers of the revolution. They will carry the message of revolution to every home in the world, to every vein and capillary of human existence. The banner of victorious revolution will be carried by them alone. Moralists and spiritualists can be found among all types of people, regardless of whether they are rich or poor. Everyone knows that the idea that rich means honest is completely false. But most sadvipras will come from the middle class. By "middle class" I mean the vipra- and ks'attriya-minded shu'dras. One may ask whether rich people who are moral and spiritual can be sadvipras or not. In reply I will say yes, they can be. But in order to be sadvipras they will have to come down to the level of the middle class, because they cannot live in indolent luxury on capital acquired by sinful means. In order to follow the principles of Prout,* they will have to fight against sin and injustice, and in order to conduct such a fight properly, they will not be able to keep their wealth -- they will have to become middle-class. * Progressive Utilization Theory. See Idea and Ideology, 1959. (search in: http://home.zonnet.nl/ammmcd2/) The Five Fundamental Principles of Prout: (1) No individual should be allowed to accumulate any physical wealth without the clear permission or approval of the collective body. (2) There should be maximum utilization and rational distribution of all mundane, supramundane and spiritual potentialities of the universe. (3) There should be maximum utilization of physical, metaphysical and spiritual potentialities of unit and collective bodies of human society. (4) There should be a proper adjustment amongst these physical, metaphysical, mundane, supramundane and spiritual utilizations. (5) The method of utilization should vary in accordance with changes in time, space and person, and the utilization should be of progressive nature. ------------------------ Yahoo!
