So everyone has got particular occupational duty. (break) Actually, what is going on as Hindu dharma . . . actually, Hindu dharma, this word is not there in the śāstras. In the śāstra it is called varṇāśrama-dharma, four varṇas: brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya, śūdra; and four āśramas: brahmacārī, gṛhastha, vānaprastha and sannyāsa. These are called varṇāśrama-dharma. So in every varṇa . . . brāhmaṇa, his qualification is described in the śāstra: śamo damas titikṣā ārjavaṁ kṣāntir jñānaṁ vijñānam āstikyaṁ brahma-karma svabhāva-jam (BG 18.42).

dharmaḥ svanuṣṭhitaḥ puṁsāṁ

viṣvaksena-kathāsu yaḥ

notpādayed ratiṁ yadi

śrama eva hi kevalam

(SB 1.2.8)

Everyone has got particular type of occupational duty. That is called dharma. dharma is not a faith. The particular duty . . . just like you are a medical practitioner. So your dharma is to treat patients. That is your dharma. So everyone has got particular occupational duty. (break) Actually, what is going on as Hindu dharma . . . actually, Hindu dharma, this word is not there in the śāstras. In the śāstra it is called varṇāśrama-dharma, four varṇas: brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya, śūdra; and four āśramas: brahmacārī, gṛhastha, vānaprastha and sannyāsa. These are called varṇāśrama-dharma.

So in every varṇa . . . brāhmaṇa, his qualification is described in the śāstra: śamo damas titikṣā ārjavaṁ kṣāntir jñānaṁ vijñānam āstikyaṁ brahma-karma svabhāva-jam (BG 18.42). Similarly, kṣatriya, vaiśya. So by discharging one's occupational duty according to varṇa and āśrama, if one does not understand Kṛṣṇa, the Bhāgavata says, śrama eva hi kevalam: then he's simply spoiling his time and wasting his labor. That's all.
