On several occasions I have said that sadvipras are those who follow the principles of yama and niyama -- the principles of spiritual morality -- and are devoted to the Supreme Consciousness. People will recognize sadvipras by their exemplary conduct, selfless service, dutifulness and moral integrity. Only sadvipras can serve all human beings selflessly and lead others along the path of all-round advancement. These sadvipras -- those who follow a correct philosophy of life and practice a correct system of spiritual practices (sa'dhana') -- will be the leaders of the society in the future. Today democracy is the most preferred system of government throughout the world, but democracy is not an ideal system because it is full of loopholes. Intelligent people have already started working to overcome these shortcomings. In the present world Prout supports restricted democracy, because in the future a better system of government will be evolved.
What is that better system of government? According to Prout, the rule of sadvipras is the ideal form of leadership. The establishment of sadvipra leadership will require the systematic and rational application of Prout by the collective effort of many highly intelligent people. Sadvipra rule cannot be established by blind physical force or idle intellectual extravaganza. Sadvipras will fight ceaselessly against all corruption and exploitation -- they will wage a never-ending struggle against immorality and fissiparous tendencies. The fullest possibilities for the establishment of peace and human progress lie only in the collective endeavors of the sadvipras. Democracy cannot solve human problems because in a democracy one particular class gets the scope to dominate the society while the other classes are deprived of their freedom. To ensure the all- round welfare of the society, the benevolent dictatorship of sadvipras is an absolute necessity. Sadvipras alone can represent the genuine aspirations of the people.
What form will the benevolent dictatorship of the sadvipras take? Prout supports centralization of political power and decentralization of economic power, but centralization of political power does not mean centralization in one person or one institution. Sadvipras shall elect and form several boards consisting of persons who are conversant and experienced in the various branches of administration. These boards will include the following:
However, if the Supreme Board of Sadvipras does not approve the list, it will send the list back to the Legislative Board of Sadvipras with amendments if necessary. In this case, the Legislative Board of Sadvipras shall either send the list back to the Supreme Board of Sadvipras after accepting the amendments, or send their own opinion again to the Supreme Board of Sadvipras. The Supreme Board of Sadvipras shall be the final authority, so it will make the final decision concerning the appointment of the members of the sub-boards.(1969, Ranchi)
