Line 25:
However, Prout does not seek the abolition of these four classes, as it sees them as "... not merely as a power configuration, but as a way of knowing the world, as a paradigm, episteme or deep structure if you will."<ref name=":3" /> It considers that any person can be worker, warrior, intellectual or acquisitive minded.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":12">{{Cite book|title=Prout in a Nutshell, volume 4|last=Sarkar|first=Prabhat Ranjan|publisher=Ananda Marga Publications}}</ref>
Prout sees the four classes as connected to cyclic processes across time.<ref name=":3" /> That when a class of people struggle and rise to power they cause a revolution in the physical and mental world.<ref name=":3" /> To prevent any social class from clinging to political power and exploiting the others, a "spiritual elite" sadvipras (etymologically ''sad'' – true, ''vipra'' – intellectual) would determine who will hold political leadership.<ref name=Crovetto2011/> Prout theorises that the first sadvipras would come from disgruntled middle-class intellectuals and warriors.<ref name=Crovetto2011/>
Sadvipras would be organized into [[executive (government)|executive]], [[legislature|legislative]], and [[judiciary|judicial]] boards which would be governed by a Supreme Board.<ref name=Crovetto2011/> They would be responsible for the order of dominance within the social order.
