# N - Narada's Instructions (11-15)

*Narada instructed Maharaja Yuddhistira about the foundational qualities of a civilised human being and the ingenious system of Varnasrama. For most conditioned souls, a gradual, step-by-step progression towards pure devotional service is required. The itinerant sage thus described the various social orders and occupations of life. Everyone should identify their natural position, honour their responsibilities, make a beneficial contribution to society, and ultimately draw closer to God as a result.*
