Srimad-Bhagavatam Lectures

Prabhupāda: So the supreme destination, back to Godhead, back to home, is for everyone. It is not that just . . . God . . . God means for everyone. God does not say: "Only the brahmiṇ class of men, please come here. Others all rejected." No. He is inviting everyone. Even the lowest of the lowest, low-born, pāpa-yonayaḥ, women, śūdra or vaiśyas, everyone.

Now, Kṛṣṇa says that, "Everyone has got the potency of coming to Me, go back to home, back to Godhead." That is admitted by Kṛṣṇa. Now, who will make them qualified to go back to home, back to Godhead? That is the Vaiṣṇava, those who are actually very sincere servant of Kṛṣṇa. It is their duty. Kṛṣṇa says that, "Everyone is competent to come to Me if he is following the rules and regulations." Vyapāśritya. What is the meaning of vyapāśritya?

Nitāi: "Particularly taking shelter.".

Nitāi: "Particularly taking shelter."

Prabhupāda: Yes, "Particularly." One should be willing to go back to home, back to Godhead and take shelter particularly, means his representative. Such person can be elevated. So it is not that . . . but unfortunately, in India, although Bhagavad-gītā is there, they neglect it. The so-called brahmiṇs, so-called gosvāmīs, so-called . . . they neglect this process. Just like in India, the Muhammadans, the Muhammadans who claim to be partitioned: Pakistan and Hindustan. There are number of Muhammadans, they protested that, "India is going to be independent, but we do not wish to participate with the Hindus. We must be separate." Why? Because they have got a bad experience that the Hindus did not treat them very well, did not . . . even śūdra. In South India, it was the process, so bad process, if śūdra is passing on the street, he has to cry, "I am a śūdra passing on the street. Please close your door." The brahmiṇs would close the door so that they may not even see a śūdra, then everything will be spoiled, their food grains and everything. They will close.
