Prabhupāda: Hmm? Page twenty-five? Mādhavānanda: Yes.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Go on. Mādhavānanda: It's page twenty-five. I ended...

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Read. Begin reading, Mādhavānanda. Mādhavānanda: I ended on the second paragraph. It's right here.

"The vaiśyas are meant for pro..." Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Read. Mādhavānanda: "The vaiśyas are meant for producing agricultural products, trading them and distributing them. And the working class, or śūdras, are those who haven't the intelligence of the brāhmaṇas or the kṣatriyas or the vaiśyas, and therefore they are meant to help these higher classes by bodily labor. In this way, there is full cooperation and spiritual advancement amongst all the different orders of society.

And when there is no such cooperation, the members of society will fall down. That is the present position..." Prabhupāda: Yes. That is everywhere. Even in, in our Society, Kṛṣṇa conscious Society, if there is no mutual cooperation, then it will fall down immediately.
