| Pradyumna: "The degradation of the human instinct begins from the mlecchas, and the caṇḍāla state of life is the last word in human degradation. All the above terms mentioned in the Vedic literatures..."Prabhupāda: This is first-class life, satyaṁ śamo damas titikṣā ārjavaṁ jñānaṁ vijñānam āstikyaṁ brahma-karma svabhāva-jam [[Vanisource:BG 18.42|BG 18.42]] . And the lowest class of life... Practically, nowadays all lowest class of life, the life of a caṇḍāla, dog-eaters. So this is the description in the śāstra. Go on.Pradyumna: "All the above terms mentioned in the Vedic literatures are never meant for any particular community or birth..."Prabhupāda: It is not that because one has taken birth in the lowest class family—suppose caṇḍāla, dog-eaters—it does not mean that he'll have to remain in that position. Just like uneducated persons. It is not that he'll have to remain in that uneducated standard, but he can become educated. He can become educated. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, that there is no check on any particular person, community, to become God conscious. Became God Himself says, Kṛṣṇa says, māṁ hi pārtha vyapāśritya ye 'pi syuḥ pāpa-yonayaḥ. Pāpa-yoni, to take birth in lower class of human society, is called pāpa-yoni. But Kṛṣṇa says, "Never mind, pāpa-yoni.
| | Formerly, in the Vedic civilization, even women and ''śūdra'' and ''vaiśya'', they were also considered amongst the ''pāpa-yoni'', what to speak of others. But Kṛṣṇa says, "Never mind whatever ''pāpa-yoni'' one may be." ''Māṁ hi pārtha vyapāśritya'': "If one takes shelter of My devotee," ''vyapāśritya'', "and works under his direction, then . . ." ''Vyapa''. That is called ''vyapāśritya. Viśeṣa rūpeṇa āśritya.'' "Then he also . . ." ''te 'pi yānti parāṁ gatim'', "he can also go back to home, back to Godhead." There is no bar. |

| | But one has to purify himself by the purificatory process. That is called ''saṁskāra. Saṁskārād bhaved dvijaḥ''. By purificatory process, one becomes purified, and purified means no more sinful life. That is purification. ''Yeṣāṁ anta-gataṁ pāpam.'' One who is fully freed from sinful activities: |
