There are differences between grihastas. Someone is a brahmana grihastha; someone is a ksatriya grihastha; someone is a vaisya grihastha; and someone is a sudra grihastha. Everyone earns his livelihood differently and develops economically in a different way.<\/p>\n

A brahmana is dependent on donations. This means that he will live austerely because people, in general, do not give big donations. He can live in a forest … brahmanas love to live austerely. A perfect example of this is Sudama brahmana.<\/p>\n

A ksatriya earns his livelihood by collecting taxes or serving the government.<\/p>\n

A vaisya earns a living by doing business. He buys something at a low price and sells it at a high price, telling people that he did not make any money. This is a vaisya. Prabhupada said that a vaisya has to lie, that this is part of his dharma.<\/p>\n

A sudra makes his livelihood by working for others for a salary.<\/p>\n

The point is that we are all Vaishnavas. Ultimately, no one of us is a sudra, a brahmana, a vaisya or a ksatriya. A vaishnava can act to teach by example
\nwithout being a sudra.<\/p>\n

But the point I am making is that devotees in the householder asrama are responsible for the rest of the society. It is your responsibility to maintain brahmacaris and sannyasis.<\/p>\n
