[Shri Bharath Krishna asked: Padanamskaram Swami, this question of mine is based on the Trailokya Gita, Ch-13, related to the caste system. I have a series of questions based on the following scenario. I am considering four human beings from each caste who just started their journey towards God. Following are my questions.
1. Can we say that a Brahmana always has less ego compared to other human beings from other castes (due to more Sattvam)? 2. If so, can we say that it will be relatively easy for a Brahmana to travel on the Spiritual Path? 3. Is it possible for all these four human beings to attain the same level of surrender to God while being in their own castes? 4. Can all of these four devotees please You equally with their service? I remember You telling me that "Swami likes Sattvam more". Based on this I concluded that, "Swami likes the service of a Brahmana more because his service will be of Sattvam quality. Is my conclusion correct? 5. I have this new thought that maybe all devotees belong to Brahmana caste only but within that caste they are again subdivided into various other castes. To be a devotee, the proportion of Sattvam has to dominate the other two qualities. This is what I have understood. If I have understood wrong, please correct me Swami. Thank You so much for answering all of my questions with so much Patience and Love Swami🙏❤. Your devotee, bharath krishna.]
Swami replied:- Certainly a Brahmana will be closest to God than other castes because a Brahmana is an embodiment of the quality of sattvam. BUT A BRAHMANA IS DECIDED BY HIS /HER QUALITIES AND PRACTICAL DEEDS, BUT, NOT BY MERE BIRTH. Due to Sattvam, all good qualities exist, which will certainly please God. Don’t forget the above statement which is in capital and bold letters.
