Sri Caitanya-caritamrta

CC Adi-lila

CC Adi 13.82, Purport: A brāhmaṇa does not become anyone’s servant. To render service to someone else is the business of the śūdras. A brāhmaṇa is always independent because he is a teacher, spiritual master and advisor to society. The members of society provide him with all the necessities of life.

CC Madhya-lila

CC Madhya 24.325, Purport: A brāhmaṇa is never supposed to engage in anyone’s service. Serving others for a livelihood (paricaryātmakaṁ karma [Bg. 18.44]) is the business of śūdras. The brāhmaṇa is always independent and busy studying śāstra and preaching śāstra to subordinate social members such as kṣatriyas and vaiśyas.

Lectures

Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Lecture on BG 1.40 -- London, July 28, 1973: A brāhmaṇa is never engaged in service like śūdra. That is śūdra's business.

Lecture on BG 2.2-6 -- Ahmedabad, December 11, 1972: ūdra means he must find out a master. A master. Paricaryātmakaṁ karma śūdra-karma svabhāva-jam [Bg. 18.44]. Śūdra's business is to find out a master. Just like a dog. A dog must find out a nice master. Otherwise it is a street dog. Its condition is not very good. Similarly, a śūdra means he must have a nice paying master. Otherwise his life is at risk.
