As stated in Bhagavad-gÄŤtÄ (4.8), paritrÄášÄya sÄdhĹŤnÄáš vinÄĹÄya ca duᚣkáštÄm. The sÄdhus, the devotees of the Lord, are always eager to advance the cause of KášášŁáša consciousness so that the conditioned souls may be released from the bondage of birth and death. But the asuras, the demons, impede the advancement of the KášášŁáša consciousness movement, and therefore KášášŁáša arranges occasional fights between different asuras who are very much interested in increasing their military power. The duty of the government or king is not to increase military power unnecessarily; the real duty of the government is to see that the people of the state advance in KášášŁáša consciousness. For this purpose, KášášŁáša says in Bhagavad-gÄŤtÄ (4.13), cÄtur-varášyaáš mayÄ sášášŁášaáš guáša-karma-vibhÄgaĹaḼ: âAccording to the three modes of material nature and the work ascribed to them, the four divisions of human society were created by Me.â There should be an ideal class of men who are bona fide brÄhmaášas, and they should be given all protection. Namo brahmaášya-devÄya go-brÄhmaáša-hitÄya ca. KášášŁáša is very fond of brÄhmaášas and cows. The brÄhmaášas promulgate the cause of advancement in KášášŁáša consciousness, and the cows give enough milk to maintain the body in the mode of goodness. The kᚣatriyas and the government should be advised by the brÄhmaášas. Next, the vaiĹyas should produce enough foodstuffs, and the ĹĹŤdras, who cannot do anything beneficial on their own, should serve the three higher classes (the brÄhmaášas, kᚣatriyas and vaiĹyas). This is the arrangement of the Supreme Personality of Godhead so that the conditioned souls will be released from the material condition and return home, back to Godhead. This is the purpose of KášášŁášaâs descent on the surface of the earth (paritrÄášÄya sÄdhĹŤnÄáš vinÄĹÄya ca duᚣkáštÄm).
Everyone must understand KášášŁášaâs activities (janma karma ca me divyam). If one understands the purpose of KášášŁášaâs coming to this earth and performing His activities, one is immediately liberated. This liberation is the purpose of the creation and KášášŁášaâs descent upon the surface of the earth. Demons are very much interested in advancing a plan by which people will labor hard like cats, dogs and hogs, but KášášŁášaâs devotees want to teach KášášŁáša consciousness so that people will be satisfied with plain living and KášášŁáša conscious advancement. Although demons have created many plans for industry and hard labor so that people will work day and night like animals, this is not the purpose of civilization. Such endeavors are jagatoâhitaḼ; that is, they are meant for the misfortune of the people in general. KᚣayÄya: such activities lead to annihilation. One who understands the purpose of KášášŁáša, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, should seriously understand the importance of the KášášŁáša consciousness movement and seriously take part in it. One should not endeavor for ugra-karma, or unnecessary work for sense gratification. NĹŤnaáš pramattaḼ kurute vikarma yad indriya-prÄŤtaya Äpášášoti (BhÄg. 5.5.4). Simply for sense gratification, people make plans for material happiness. MÄyÄ-sukhÄya bharam udvahato vimĹŤá¸hÄn (BhÄg. 7.9.43). They do this because they are all vimĹŤá¸has, rascals. For flickering happiness, people waste their human energy, not understanding the importance of the KášášŁáša consciousness movement but instead accusing the simple devotees of brainwashing. Demons may falsely accuse the preachers of the KášášŁáša consciousness movement, but KášášŁáša will arrange a fight between the demons in which all their military power will be engaged and both parties of demons will be annihilated.
