As stated in the Rig-Veda 1/139/5 - In this world the teachers and the preachers should continuously teach and preach about "sadachar" (good moral conduct in every aspect of life) so that no one's generosity is destroyed.
Message: Brahmans are called the representatives of God. That does not mean that greedy, avaricious, those succumbing to temptation, the lechers or any such persons can be called Brahmans. A true Brahman is one who, like the deities, makes all citizens knowledgeable, powerful, virtuous and bright. Wherever he sees the prevalence of ignorance, bad social customs, and wicked thinking, he becomes busy for their eradication, even to the extent of sacrificing his own life. With selflessness, he considers the all-round progress of society as his only aim.
Teachers, preachers, the renounces in the ancient days were the men from that excellent category of Brahmans who used to feel joyous by distributing the upliftment of every living being of this world as God's order to them; they used to be involved in it physically, mentally and financially. Kings and ordinary men, rich and poor, young and old, all used to pay respect to them. Therefore the glory of the nation was always high.
But today the situation has reversed. The teacher-class is not paying any attention to its duty. Instead of imparting true knowledge it teaches them wrong modes and pushes them on the wrong path. Preachers, renouncers heads of monasteries and religious sects remain busy in fooling the people and inciting their feelings. They threaten as well as put fear into the minds of people by showing 'miracles' of false gods or incarnations and under cover of religion do whatever they want to do. The result of all this is that we see today a large number of selfish, treacherous and cunning men. Their sensitivity has died, their generosity has been destroyed. They lead a life lower than even animals' lives. They are no longer human beings. Instead of becoming devtas they have become demons and devils.
Has God given this human-body replete with qualities and intelligence for giving an education that leads the public astray and then to downfall? No, no! It is not like that. The Veda God's divine message to the human race is to live like the Sun-god. Just as the Sun rises and then moves ahead, similarly man should march ahead on the road to progress. Not only that but the Sun upon rising provides both light and energy to the world - likewise the knowledgeable ones should give to others the light of knowledge. They enlighten the path, give them the strength to live and teach them punctuality and diligence. Just as the Sun destroys filth by powerful heat, likewise the preachers should eradicate others' faults and bad tendencies and establish in their place good qualities. This is the instruction of the Vedas to the people. This is what the all powerful God expects from man.
Our Supreme Father expects even more from the learned and the Brahmins. Every knowledgeable person should imbibe this instruction of the Vedas and become a true Brahman.
