A śūdra means he becomes disturbed. He becomes disturbed: "Oh, I have no employment. How shall I eat? Where shall I go? Where shall I live?" He has no faith in Kṛṣṇa. The brāhmaṇa has got full faith, the kṣatriya has got little less faith, the vaiśya, little less faith, and the śūdra has no faith. This is the difference.

In those days, plague in Calcutta, plague was going on. So Municipal declaration was any dead mouse brought to the Municipal office, he'll be paid two annas. So he took that dead body of the mouse and took to the Municipal office; he was paid two annas. So he purchased some rotten betel nuts with two annas, and washed it and sold it at four annas or five annas. In this way, again, again, again, that man became so rich man. One of their family member was our Godbrother. Nandi family. That Nandi family still, they have got four hundred, five hundred men to eat daily. A big, aristocratic family. And their family's regulation is as soon as one son or daughter is born, five thousand rupees deposited in the bank, and at the time of his marriage, that five thousand rupees with interest, he can take it. Otherwise there is no more share in the capital. And everyone who lives in the family, he gets eating and shelter. This is their . . . but the original, I mean to say, establisher of this family, Nandi, he started his business with a red . . . a dead rat, or mouse.

That is actually fact, actually fact, that if one wants to live independently . . . in Calcutta I have seen, even poor class ''vaiśyas'', and in the morning they'll take some ''ḍāl'', bag of ''ḍāl'', and go door to door. ''Ḍāl'' is required everywhere. So in morning he makes ''ḍāl'' business, and in evening he takes one canister of kerosene oil. So in the evening everyone will require. Still you'll find in India, they . . . nobody was seeking for employment. A little, whatever he has got, selling some ground nuts or that peanuts. Something he's doing. After all, Kṛṣṇa is giving maintenance to everyone. It is a mistake to think that, "This man is giving me maintenance." No. ''Śāstra'' says, ''eko yo bahūnāṁ vidadhāti kāmān'' (''Kaṭha Upaniṣad'' 2.2.13). It is confidence in Kṛṣṇa that, "Kṛṣṇa has given me life, Kṛṣṇa has sent me here. So He'll give me my maintenance. So according to my capacity, let me do something, and through that source, Kṛṣṇa's maintenance will come." Just like we are maintaining so many people in the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. So what business we are doing? But we are confident that Kṛṣṇa will send us our maintenance. That confidence required. A ''śūdra'' means he becomes disturbed. He becomes disturbed, "Oh, I have no employment. How shall I eat? Where shall I go? Where shall I live?" He has no faith in Kṛṣṇa. The ''brāhmaṇa'' has got full faith, the ''kṣatriya'' has got little less faith, the ''vaiśya'', little less faith, and the ''śūdra'' has no faith. This is the difference.

So your question was that how we can know a ''śūdra''. That because everyone is now faithless, and everyone is seeking after employment. Therefore—we may discuss in so many ways—because people have become ''śūdra'', therefore the capitalists are exploiting them. If everyone denies to be . . . serve, then these so-called industries will fail. Immediately. That is Gandhi's proposal. "Non-cooperate with the British government, and it will wind up." And actually so happened. Because people are now ''śūdras'', they depend for their bread to others, the others exploit them, "Come here. You work and I shall give you bread." They do not believe anymore, "O God, give us our daily bread." They think that "This our master give us daily bread." That is ''śūdra''. ''Śūdra ''means one who is dependent on others. ''Paricaryātmakaṁ kāryaṁ śūdra-karma svabhāva-jam'' ([[vanisource:BG 18.44 (1972)|BG 18.44]]). This is the description, definition of ''śūdra''. And ''vaiśya: kṛṣi-go-rakṣya-vāṇijyaṁ vaiśya-karma svabhāva-jam''. The ''vaiśya'' is doing the ''kṛṣi'', agriculture. Why he should depend on . . .? Take some land from the government. You produce your food. Where is the difficulty? Keep some cows; you get milk. ''Vaiśya-karma svabhāva . . . go-rakṣya''. If you have got excess, then make trade. Why you should depend on others?
