Becoming More Than Brahmana - Prabhupada 0304
We are preaching in the Western countries. If we wanted to establish varṇāśrama-dharma in the beginning that, "You become brāhmana, you become gṛhastha, you become sannyāsī . . ." No. Then everyone would have rejected: ""Sir, we are not prepared for this purpose."" But the process introduced by Caitanya Mahāprabhu . . .
It is not introduced by Caitanya Mahāprabhu; it is the sanction in the śāstras: śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ smaraṇaṁ pāda-sevanam (SB 7.5.23). This is standard method. Because we gave them the chance of hearing, gradually they're coming. Not that immediately you become brāhmana. Now they are becoming more than brāhmanas. Here, in India, the brāhmins, they are doing everything. Still they are going in the name of brāhmana. But here, these European brāhmins, American brāhmanas, they're real brāhmanas, because they have given up all sinful activities. The brāhmanas life is first of all truthful, controlling the senses, controlling the mind.
