So if the first-class brāhmins do not take care of these pāpa-yoni, then who will deliver them? We are the . . . some agitation is going on that this movement, Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, is killing Hindu religion. You see? Just see their poor fund of knowledge. It is the duty of the first-class brāhmin to enlighten these pāpa-yoni. Otherwise, who will enlighten them? Guru will enlighten. And who is guru? Śrotriyaṁ brahma-niṣṭham. Brahmā-niṣṭham means he must be brāhmin. So if the so-called brāhmins, they do not take care of them, and if they remain brāhmins, limited, within some limited area, do not go outside, then who will deliver them?

So these are not very sound arguments. It is very, what is called, crippled ideas. The brāhmin means udāra. The opposite word of brāhmin is kṛpaṇa, "Who is very miser." A brāhmin cannot be miser.
