According to the Atharvaveda 11/5/16 - Our teachers, leaders and government authorities be Brahmachari (celibates - here it means men of sound moral character), their characters should not be corrupt, otherwise harmful antisocial elements will flourish and there will be a downfall of the nation.
Message: Whatever is the type of social organization, gradually bad thoughts, selfishness and bad activities start raising their heads. The Vedas had put that responsibility on Brahmans according to the Varna-system with the aim that they will keep the nation alert by themselves remaining alert and save it from ruin, therefore, the injunction "vayam rashtre jagruyam purohitaha".
Those running the state are teachers, leaders and government authorities. They are called rashtranayaks or national leaders. Today we can actually see the extent to which all three have taken the selfishness. Most teachers are busy running after money only and the temples of teaching have become open dens of corruption and adultery. Today in schools and colleges every type of undesirable events, bullying, gambling, and alcoholic and other intoxication, rape etc have become common place. Because the teachers lack character, the students gather useless and antisocial knowledge and are spoiling their own and the country's future.
These characterless and corrupted students, after growing up, become leaders and government servants and prove to be 'gurus' of their own gurus (teachers). They use their knowledge, science, intelligence and money only for fulfilling their selfish interest. They neither have faith in the land of their birth nor any devotion to their nation. Behind the shield of such leaders and bureaucrats, criminal and anti-social elements boldly loot the country and the public.
The ruin of the public by their indiscriminate conduct can be openly seen today. The innocent public is helpless while suffering from the wicked acts of these incapable teachers, leaders and government authorities. Corruption and characterlessness are at their zenith today. Every man tries to grab some post of authority. He dreams of looting the country under the pretext of serving the public. For such work, help is taken of many types of criminals of lower strata. They conspire to keep the innocent public under their thumb through pacification, money, bullying or by dividing it. The spiritual downfall is to such an extent that they go on creating vicious circles to grab power anyhow and become so inflated with the intoxication of power as to put the demon Ravan to shame.
Rigveda also mentions clearly that, "aa devanam bhavaha keturagne" which means only excellent men should be the leaders of people. Leadership should never be allowed to slide into the hands of characterless people. This was the duty of the Brahmans. But today they themselves are both characterless and corrupt and are taking the country towards downfall.
It is the duty of every alert citizen to become a true Brahman.
