I will also add a couple of comments. Today's "pujaris" are not very good at answering such questions. They will reply with "just serve God devotionally." That statement of course is completely correct but the entire point of varna dharma is to primarily serve God through different ways. So the shastriji should answer the question by telling the devotee how he can serve God devotionally as a warrior, etc. This advice is not given.

The other point to make is that it seems that the more devotional service you seek, the more opportunities God gives you. It does seem like I am always involved in more "big events" than most people. So this could be that God is throwing opportunities at us to both give us more chances to follow dharma as well as to test us to see how serious we are. I have to say it is weird because it seems like at times I am the only one who notices things that either other people don't see or things that I am the first to notice. I'm not saying this to pump up any ego, it is true.

To give an example, it is hard to follow Kshatriya dharma when almost everyone seems to be asleep. You tell them that there is a fire and to grab the fire extinguisher and they just stand there saying "huh...what..uhh...who..." with dumbfounded looks. Or replace the above with a car crash, crazy man with a gun, whatever, and they just look dumbfounded not knowing what to do. Why are people so zoned out? I am mentioning this because as in other threads it seems like there are a lot of people metaphorically "tied to the railroad tracks" and seemingly I am the only person that actually sees them tied and the only one who actually tries to convince them to get moving. It is frightening because it is like being sane in an insane asylum. For instance, I could be in an apartment complex and I see someone trying to break in to a car, yet NO ONE else sees it. You explan clear and present danger to people and the best they can do is repeat it back to you to see if they understand what you are saying. Is this some kind of a siddhi I have or are people in this age really that asleep?
