a co z osobami które są zmuszone do zmiany pracy, zawodu?
w Polsce jest to coraz częstsze zjawisko.
czy wobec tego nasza varna też się zmienia za każdym razem?
Jak wspomnialam, Manu Smrti rowniez podaje przyklady kiedy np bramin moze pracowac jako ksatriya, vaisya itd.. Pewne rodzaje pracy jednak sa niedopuszczalne dla bramina. Jako smrti, Manu sastra moze nie tyczyc sie naszych czasow, ale pewne ogolne wskazowki tam zawarte chyba maja duzy sens, prawda? Sastra mnie zawsze zadziwia bogactwem wiedzy!
Ponizej znalazlam po angielsku kopie elektroniczna tego rozdzialu z Manu, bo nie mam czasu kopiowac z ksiazki calego tekstu:) Zaznaczylam pewne wazne fragmenty, ale wszystkie sa interesujace.
X.75. Teaching, studying, sacrificing for himself, sacrificing for others, making gifts and receiving them are the six acts prescribed for a brahmin.
X.76. But among the six acts ordained for him three are his means of subsistence, sacrificing for others, teaching, and accepting gifts from pure men.
X.81. B
ut a brahmin, unable to subsist by his peculiar occupations just mentioned, may live according to the law applicable to kshatriyas; for the latter is next to him in rank.X.82.
If it be asked, "How shall it be, if he cannot maintain himself by either of these occupations?" the answer is, he may adopt a vaisya's mode of life, employing himself in agriculture and rearing cattle.X.83.
But a brahmin, or a kshatriya, living by a vaisya's mode of subsistence, shall carefully avoid the pursuit of agriculture, which causes injury to many beings and depends on others.X.85. But he who, through a want of means of subsistence, gives up the strictness with respect to his duties, may sell, in order to increase his wealth, the commodities sold by vaisyas, making however the following exceptions:
X.92.
By selling flesh, salt, and lac a brahmin at once becomes an outcaste; by selling milk he becomes equal to a sudra in three days.X.93. But by willingly selling in this world other forbidden commodities, a brahmin assumes after seven nights the character of a vaisya.
III.77. As all living creatures subsist by receiving support from air, even so the members of all orders subsist by receiving support from the householder.
III.78. Because men of the three other orders are daily supported by the householder with gifts of sacred knowledge and food, therefore the order of householders is the most excellent order.
III.89. And in accordance with the precepts of the Veda and of the traditional texts, the householder is declared to be superior to all of [the other three orders]; for he supports the other three.
