Chapter 2

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/manu/manu02.htm

238. He who possesses faith may receive pure learning even from a man of lower 
caste, the highest law even from the lowest, and an excellent wife even from a 
base family.

239. Even from poison nectar may be taken, even from a child good advice, even 
from a foe (a lesson in) good conduct, and even from an impure (substance) gold.

240. Excellent wives, learning, (the knowledge of) the law, (the rules of) 
purity, good advice, and various arts may be acquired from anybody.

241. It is prescribed that in times of distress (a student) may learn (the 
Veda) from one who is not a Brahmana; and that he shall walk behind and serve 
(such a) teacher, as long as the instruction lasts.

242. He who desires incomparable bliss (in heaven) shall not dwell during his 
whole life in (the house of) a non-Brahmanical teacher, nor with a Brahmana who 
does not know the whole Veda and the Angas.

243. But if (a student) desires to pass his whole life in the teacher's house, 
he must diligently serve him, until he is freed from this body.

244. A Brahmana who serves his teacher till the dissolution of his body, 
reaches forthwith the eternal mansion of Brahman.
