Verse 1.7.35: Here Krishna is making a wonderful point. We have discussed this point so many times. Today, all the chaos in human society is because of this. Because the varnasrama system is totally missing, all the chaos exist.
Brahmanas - the intelligent administrative class
Ksatriyas - the military class to work under the guidance of the administrative class
Vyasyas - merchentile class
Sudras - Worker class
SP said that ISKCON has been created mainly to create Brahmanas in the society. Since currently there are no brahmanas in the society, it is like a body without a head. Everything works here on the basis of money, not on the basis of sastras.
In America today, it is not a advanced society, it is an industry. Everything runs only on and for money. But there is no administrative class, with higher intelligence to guide the society towards progressive self-realization.
In today's world, there is no one to explain these values. That is why Krishna is telling that those who have taken birth in a brahmana family but do not have the qualifications, is just a brahmana's relative, not a brahmana.
