Guest guest Posted July 18, 1999 Report Share Posted July 18, 1999 I quote from Sri.Kalale's recent post: "…Yes, it is true, that the duty of a brahmin is to study vedas, serve in temples, teach vedas, conduct yajnas etc. HOwever, that can be done nowadays to a limited extent depending on one's capacity, determination and the environmental conditions such as finance, accessibility etc. One should be as practical as possible; however one should try hard to keep up one's dharmas…. ….However, this does not reduce, in any sense the need for money. Hence these times are different. In essence, one should work for money by some means suitable to support one's family. However, one should strive hard to uphold one's dharma without resorting to "unfair" means." ********** ************ ************ In this connection I am reminded of a wise Tamil lyric that the late KannadAsan sang: "kaasE dAn kaDavula-DA andha kADavuLakkum Idu teriyammaDa!" "Money is God! And even God knows the fact!"
