By Actions Does One Become Brahman

Janmana Sarvey Shudraha

Karmana Brahmana Bhavanti

 

By birth, everybody is a shudra – belongs to the lower strata of society

By karma – good actions – one becomes a Brahman.

    1. After deleting the prefix which I do not in any way deserve, I would say I totally agree with it. Imagine living without a caste, creed, religion, state, language, nation, financial status or the any number of groups that we are born with, or which we create ourselves – life would be so much less rigid and so much more free flowing. There would be so much less of “We do it this way” and so much more of “How do you do it?” and a greater acceptance of others.

      These are identities that we create for ourselves and are external, while the real identity is what each of us needs to seek within ourselves.
