The so-called education means seeking service, master. Paricaryātmakaṁ karma śūdra-karma svabhāva-jam (BG 18.44). This is śāstra. Anyone who is attached to give service to others or, without giving service to others, he cannot live, that is he's śūdra. He has no independent existence. Just like I was showing, the dog. Unemployed. Lean and thin and . . . because he has no master. The same dog, when he has got a master, he'll be stout and strong, and he'll, as soon as you . . . "Owf! Owf! Bow! (laughter) I have got my master." So this is śūdra. Śūdra is compared with the dog. A dog is never happy without a master. Then it is a street dog. That is the difference between household dog and a street dog. So in this age, practically you see, unless there is employment, he's a street dog. That is the proof that everyone is a śūdra. That is the proof.

Prabhupāda: we have heard from authorities. There is no question of inquiring. What is the . . . even if you don't quote, you can assert firmly that everyone is a śūdra. How? Now, guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 4.13 (1972)|BG 4.13]]). Bhagavad-gītā says this classification is made, guṇa-karma. So what is the karma at the present moment? They're seeking service. The so-called education means seeking service, master. Paricaryātmakaṁ karma śūdra-karma svabhāva-jam ([[Vanisource:BG 18.44 (1972)|BG 18.44]]). This is śāstra. Anyone who is attached to give service to others or, without giving service to others, he cannot live, that is he's śūdra. He has no independent existence. Just like I was showing, the dog. Unemployed. Lean and thin and . . . because he has no master. The same dog, when he has got a master, he'll be stout and strong, and he'll, as soon as you . . . "Owf! Owf! Bow! (laughter) I have got my master." So this is śūdra. Śūdra is compared with the dog. A dog is never happy without a master. Then it is a street dog. That is the difference between household dog and a street dog. So in this age, practically you see, unless there is employment, he's a street dog. That is the proof that everyone is a śūdra. That is the proof.

Brahmānanda: Brāhmaṇa is not to accept any employment.
