     that  is  real  advancement  of  civiliza on.  In  modern  human  society,
     spiritual knowledge is neglected, and cow killing is encouraged. It is to
     be  understood,  then,  that  human  society  is  advancing  in  the  wrong
     direc on and is clearing the path to its own condemna on. A civiliza on
     which  guides  the  ci zens  to  become  animals  in  their  next  lives  is
     certainly not a human civiliza on. The present human civiliza on is, of
     course, grossly misled by the modes of passion and ignorance. It is a very
     dangerous age, and all na ons should take care to provide the easiest
     process,  Krishṇa  consciousness,  to  save  humanity  from  the  greatest
     danger.” (Bg 14.16)

            Ignorance  of  the  laws  of  material  nature  and  the  principles  of
     righteous  living  (Dharma)  as  explained  in  detail  in  the  Bhagavad‐gita

     five categories of ci zens in a state that must be protected for society to
     func on in accordance with the laws of nature. They are saintly persons
     who  consistently  live  in  the  mode  of  goodness  or  transcendental
     goodness, children, women, the elderly, and cows. The mistreatment of
     any  or  all  of  these  persons  results  social  instability,  violence,  war,
     pes lence and many more calami es.
