TRANSLATION

According to the three modes of material nature and the work ascribed to them, the four divisions of human society were created by Me. And, although I am the creator of this system, you should know that I am yet the non-doer, being unchangeable.

PURPORT

The Lord is the creator of everything. Everything is born of Him, everything is sustained by Him, and everything, after annihilation, rests in Him. He is therefore the creator of the four divisions of the social order, beginning with the intelligent class of men, technically called brāhma?as due to their being situated in the mode of goodness. Next is the administrative class, technically called the k?atriyas due to their being situated in the mode of passion. The mercantile men, called the vai?yas, are situated in the mixed modes of passion and ignorance, and the ?ūdras, or laborer class, are situated in the ignorant mode of material nature. In spite of His creating the four divisions of human society, Lord K???a does not belong to any of these divisions, because He is not one of the conditioned souls, a section of whom form human society. Human society is similar to any other animal society, but to elevate men from the animal status, the abovementioned divisions are created by the Lord for the systematic development of K???a consciousness. The tendency of a particular man toward work is determined by the modes of material nature which he has acquired. Such symptoms of life, according to different modes of material nature, are described in the Eighteenth Chapter of this book. A person in K???a consciousness, however, is above even the brāhma?as, because a brāhma?a by quality is supposed to know about Brahman, the Supreme Absolute Truth. Most of them approach the impersonal Brahman manifestation of Lord K???a, but only a man who transcends the limited knowledge of a brāhma?a and reaches the knowledge of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord ?rī K???a, becomes a person in K???a consciousness-or, in other words, a Vai??ava. K???a consciousness includes knowledge of all different plenary expansions of K???a, namely Rāma, N?si?ha, Varāha, etc. However, as K???a is transcendental to this system of the four divisions of human society, a person in K???a consciousness is also transcendental to all divisions of human society, whether we consider the divisions of community, nation or species.

Question 1 : What are the four divisions of human society created by the Lord based on modes of material nature ? Why the Lord created them ? How a Krishna conscious person different from these divisions ?
