Elevation of dog eaters to Vaishnavas

Prabhupāda: So if one becomes a Vaiṣṇava under the principles of Caitanya Mahāprabhu, he can be lifted at once from any abominable condition, śvapacaṁ variṣṭham

Just like śvapacam, the dog-eater, he becomes variṣṭham, better than a brāhmaṇa. Because why? Because he is a devotee.

Necessity of following varnasrama dharma

So unless one becomes devotee, one has to follow this varṇāśrama-dharma. This is the idea.

Caitanya Mahaprabhu on devotional platform

Caitanya Mahāprabhu is speaking from the devotional platform. He did not say when He was actually acting as a brāhmaṇa in Navadvīpa. But when He realized...

He is realized always, but as ācārya, He says that when one becomes Vaiṣṇava, gopī-bhartuḥ... What is the quali... Gopī-bhartuḥ pada-kamalayor dāsa-dāsānudāsaḥ

Identity as servant of Krishna

He says, "I am not a brāhmaṇa." Then the next question is, "What You are?" He says, gopī-bhartuḥ pada-kamalayor dāsa-dāsānudāsaḥ: "I am the servant of the servant of the servant of Kṛṣṇa."

So when one is realized in that way, that "I am eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa," he does not require to be a brāhmaṇa or śūdra. He transcends.

Transcending social orders through realization

He is postgraduate. So, so long he does not realize that, he has to follow the varṇāśrama-dharma. Otherwise, he is not civilized.

Civilization versus mleccha and yavana

They are mleccha, yavanas. The most abominable, śvapacam, most abominable. Is that clear? Yes. [end]
