KC & anarchy By Vraja Kisor Das (108) For some people, anarchy means freedom. Who is a free man? Anarchy literally means: An-archy. "Archy" refers to government - and "an" means without. Therefore Anarchy exactly means "without government." In the Krishna conscious system, also, anarchy is equated with freedom. However, anarchy is a privilege that proves to be disastrous if awarded to everyone. It is a privilege which can be awarded only to those who are qualified to handle it. By becoming self-controlled, not controlled by one's body and social programming, this is how one becomes (in the Vedic, Krishna conscious understanding) qualified to be a brahmana - which is equivalent to an un-governed anarchist. A brahmana is a free man, because he is not controlled by his senses and social programing - thus he does not need any government to regulate him. Spontaneously, he always acts for the ultimate well-being of all people.
