"In the city of Kānyakubja, formerly there was a Brahmin." Kānyakubje dvijaḥ kaścit. "There was a Brahmin." Āsīd dāsī-patir ajāmilaḥ. Dāsī-pati means one who keeps woman; it is not married. He kept one woman, dāsī, therefore he was the husband of a dāsī. He was living with a woman who was not married wife. So a Brahmin of the name Ajāmila who was husband of a kept woman, kānyakubje dvijaḥ kaścid dāsī-patir ajāmilaḥ, nāmnā naṣṭa-sadācāraḥ. But he lost all good qualification of a Brahmin. That is the result of illegitimate connection with women.
So this point is very important, that if one is addicted to illicit sex life, if one is addicted to meat-eating and if one is addicted in intoxicants, then he is immediately fallen from the standard of human society. (Hindi: He becomes degraded and he falls from down from the spiritual society.)
The present state of Hindu society is so fallen because a Brahmin, in spite of his sadācāra, he claims to become a Brahmin. Do you follow? The śāstra says that as soon as you give up your good habits, the behavior of a Brahmin . . . the behavior or . . . just like it is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā, satya-śama-dama-titikṣa-ārjavam, jñānaṁ vijñānaṁ āstikyaṁ brahma-karma svabhāva-jam (BG 18.42).
So we have to select a Brahmin by the symptoms of his life, not that because he is born of a Brahmin family he remains a Brahmin. No. He must continue the brahminical qualification; otherwise he is not a . . . Naṣṭa-sadācāra. He is lost. Sadācāra must be continued. This is the conclusion of the Bhāgavata. Unfortunately, ot only Brahmins—kṣatriyas or śūdras, they are practically . . . they have lost all sadācāra. Still, they are claiming that "I am born in higher family." Naṣṭa-sadācāra dāsyāḥ sam . . .
And why he was lost of his good behavior? Dāsyāḥ saṁsarga-duṣitaḥ: because he was contaminated by that illicit sex life. And at the present moment a gentleman keeps woman and goes there, and still, he passes on as Brahmin.
