Merchantile - does that not mean commerce, the

exchange of goods and services, and in the process to

make a living through a profit?

 

Are not Vaisyas people centred in the modes of passion

and ignorance? Is it not, that whilst they recognise

the Supreme, there nature is of work hard, play hard -

materialist for the gratification of the sences,

whilst administered by the ksyatrias via brahminical

advice, with the goal of performing ones natural

duties for the gradual release from the material

sphere?

By increasing the production of milk and crops, does

this not mean that a surplus is inevitable, a surplus

to feed non-agrarian members of the community, within

the village or in urban centres? Thereby the need to

trade, thereby the increase in wealth due to the

accumulation of profits?

How can one give in charity if one has no wealth,

accumulated from profit?

VEDA - for the lifetime protection of farm animals -

as the basic quality standard of a niche market for

the world's population - does that not fulfil these requirements?
