Lord Ṛṣabhadeva planned in such a way to teach His sons—He had one hundred sons—that it will be honored by all the āśramas. Out of His one hundred sons, nine became sannyāsī. Nava Yogendra, very highly elevated spiritually, nine sons. And eighty-one sons . . . out of hundred, nine gone, ninety-one sons? So out of them, eleven became kṣatriyas, and others became brāhmins, like that.
So this proves that not that by birth one becomes brāhmin or kṣatriya or vaiśya or śūdra, but it is by different qualification. Otherwise how Ṛṣabhadeva's son . . . he was kṣatriya, supposed to be kṣatriya. So His sons are also kṣatriya. How they became brāhmin? No. That was the Vedic culture. Janmanā jāyate śūdraḥ. As soon as one is born, he is accepted as śūdra.
Neither brāhmin nor kṣatriya nor . . . raw. By training, either he becomes a brāhmin or a kṣatriya. Just like a man has got several sons, but all of them, in the beginning, they are illiterate. Now, in their grown-up age, by accepting different departmental knowledge, one becomes a medical practitioner, one becomes engineer, one becomes lawyer or one becomes vagabond.
So not by birth one becomes engineer or medical man or this or . . . no. Everything by culture, by education. Similarly, the Vedic culture means everyone is given the chance to become first-class brāhmin. That is called brahminical culture. Everyone is given. Because without becoming a brāhmin, nobody can understand what is God. And the human life is meant for understanding God. That is the only business of human form of life. Not like cats and dogs—how to eat, how to sleep, how to have sexual intercourse and how to defend. These the animals know. The birds, bees, they know how to do it.
