They will kill that demon.” The killing is there, but the
brāhmaṇa is not going to kill personally. Or the
vaiśya is not meant for killing, neither the
śūdras. Only the
kṣatriyas. The
kṣatriyas should be so trained up. Just like in USA there is some trouble in recruiting soldiers, because… Why the difficulty is? The difficulty is the training is like
śūdras. The young men are trained up like
śūdras, how they can fight? Therefore they are afraid (see pic above). They try to avoid fighting. Because there is no division. Everyone, in this age, everyone is
śūdra. How you can expect a
śūdra will be encouraged to fight? That is not possible. Therefore real social structure should be four divisions,
brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya, śūdra. Brāhmaṇa, fully engaged for enlightenment of the people, knowledge, spiritual knowledge. They are meant for that. They will cultivate that knowledge personally,
paṭhana pāṭhana, and make students. Brahminical class. Similarly
kṣatriya. They should be trained up in politics, in fighting, not to flee away from fighting (see pic above). These are the training of the
kṣatriyas."
