Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 Srimad Bhagavatam Lecture in Vrndavan, Sept 14 1976 Canto 1 Ch.7 text16 And the vaiya qualification—agriculture. Ki. Ki-gorakya, and cow protection. Ki-gorakya-v€Šijyam. And if there is excess, then v€Šijya, trade. Otherwise there is no question of trade. And vaiya... And ™dra, paricary€tmakam—to work for some payment. That is this blacksmith, goldsmith, weaver. You take some work from him and pay him something, maintain him. That is ™dra. So in the €stra it is said, kalau ™dra-sambhavaƒ. In the Kali-yuga almost everyone is a ™dra. You’ll find they’re interested in accepting some service. Even one is born of a br€hmaŠa family, he is looking after some good job. That is ™dra mentality. That is not br€hmaŠa’s business. Br€hmaŠa will not accept anyone’s service, neither the katriyas, neither the vaiyas. Only ™dras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
