JATI DESH KALA SAMAYA ANAVACHHINNAH SARWABHAUMA MAHA VRATAM
(PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED) YAMAS OR RESTRAINS IN BEHAVIOR BECOME
GREAT VOWS WHEN NOY ARE NOT LIMITED BY CAST, PLACE, TIME OR
CIRCUMSTANCES
We were told that the restrains that we need to follow during our day to day life will help us in achieving our goal or the Samadhi . But the religion realizes that in the life of ordinary man or woman , who are married , have jobs and have family and live in society and not secluded junjle, can not follow these restrains 100%of the time . So when one does follow them to a 'T', then it is called MAHA VRATA or great vows .
There are going to be situations when one can not follow these restrains all the time , 100%, especially when we live in society Say for example when some one is at a job like judge , he has to rule on cases where he or she may have to rule on cases and give punishment or death penalty. So the exceptions may be due to JATI or caste , DESH or place , KALA or Time and lastly SAMAYA -THE CIRCUMSTANCES ..
We all know the exceptions , but we are told 4 different things where we may have problem following these Yamas. We saw how JATI or caste (king or butcher or merchant etc) may not be in position to follow. The same holds true as far as place is concerned. One may be travelling and may not have vegetarian food . In India the wheat or rice are seasonal crops and even though they are available through out the year , many families will buy it for the entire year at one time. So he may have to do the collection -may be considered as hoarding .
So under special circumstances which can be separated under 4 categories, of caste , place , time and certain circumstances , one may have to deviate . By doing this we can still get better , but to achieve ultimate goal we will have to follow it 100% with no exception .
