<*THE VAESHYA AGE*> by P. R. Sarkar [Book:PROUT in a Nutshell,Part
05:03]
The Vaeshya age by P.R. Sarkar
Both the kśatriyas and the vipras like to enjoy material wealth,
though their methods of accumulating material objects are different.
The vaeshyas, however, are more interested in possessing material
objects than enjoying them. Looking at their possessions, or thinking
about them, gives them a certain peace of mind. So in the Vaeshya Age
the practical value of materialgoods is less than at any other time.
They gradually become inert both literally and in financial terms.
This is the greatest curse of the Vaeshya Age, because the less the
mobility of material goods, that is, the greater their stagnation in
different spheres, the more harmfulit is for the common people. In the
Kśatriya and Vipra Ages it is very rare for people to die of
starvation while grains rot in the warehouses. Although there is
disparity of wealth in the Kśatriya and Vipra Ages, kśatriyas and
vipras do not kick others into a pit of privation, poverty and
starvation while they themselves enjoy their wealth. This is because
they see other people as tools to be used for the purpose of
exploitation, but do not see them as the wellspring of exploitation as
the vaeshyas do. To a vaeshya, the shúdras, kśatriyas and vipras are
not only tools to be used for exploitative purposes, they are the
wellspring of exploitation as well.
