Mother said: "My dear boy, I do not know who is your father. I had many friends. I do not know by whom you are born." And he came back and said Gautama Muni, "My mother said that he (she) had many friends. She cannot say who is my exactly father." "Oh, you are brahmin. Come on. I will initiate you. You are brahmin."

Qualification—he said the plain truth. Qualification. "Come on. I shall initiate." Nobody will say that, "Oh, I have no . . . my father (mother) had many friends, and I do know what is the . . ." Everyone will try to hide this. But he plainly said, immediately. And because he was so truthful, therefore his name is Satyakaṁ. Satyakaṁ means he does not lie.

That is the first qualification of a brahmin: satya, he should be truthful, even to the enemies. Nobody becomes truthful to the enemy; he does not disclose the secret. But a brahmin is supposed to be so much truthful that if the enemy asks that "What is your position?" he will say, "This is my position."

So they picked up by quality, what quality is. This is our process. Our Kṛṣṇa conscious . . . Caitanya Mahāprabhu's process is that if anyone is a little inclined to Kṛṣṇa, so we should give him all facilities to become . . . develop Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is pāñcarātrika-vidhi. According to Vedic vidhi, or in the Vedic way . . . just like we are initiating. Nobody can be initiated unless they . . . he is born of high family.
