Who is a Brahmin? జగమెరిగిన బ్రాహ్మణునికి జంధ్యమెందుకు

 

Who is a Brahmin? జగమెరిగిన బ్రాహ్మణునికి జంధ్యమెందుకు అనగా పరబ్రహ్మ గురించి తెలిసిన, తెలుసుకున్న వానికి, బాహ్య చిహ్నములతో పనిలేదని, భావము

brahmin is one who has gained the experience of brahman,
who has gained access to brahman,
who lives brahman in his think talk walk naturally effortlessly
who is a brahma gyani by the authenticity of direct experience and access to brahmagyan within,
not from books and lectures, nor a scripture parrot

he has no dos and donts 
his life is in alignment with brahman, so what ever he does , what ever speaks comes out in line with brahman governing the universe, as infallible, flawless, spontaneous 

can we be one if we change our attitude?
no, not enough to change attitude, since it is not possible to really change attitude without the experience of brahman

By default every human is born as shudra, even when born to brahmin parents

only after one is initiated into the experience of brahman , 
thru the process of upanayana sanskar , 
the most important out of the 16, shodasha sanskars,
that the individual becomes a ''dvija '', the ''twice born'', the brahmin, not before that 

emphasis is on the real, true, authentic ,direct experience of brahman
in the upanayana sanskar , not just on the ritual of getting initiated .
the ritual is meaningless, waste , useless,, unless it provides that direct experience. and for this any one is eligible not necessarily only from the brahmin parents 

point to be noted is , 
offspring of brahmin parents will not be ''dwijas'' , ie brahmins automatically, 
but will become only thru that sanskar , and more vital , thru that experience of brahman 
as indians we are far away from truth, when we categorize, label, certify the one as brahmin if born to brahmin parents

 

in my schooldays, one godman uttered the statement , ''Kaliyuga is the age of shudras and mlecchas. There are hardly any brahmans here''

the whole so called ''brahmin'' community became offended and almost hounded him out from the town

 

All surface treatments of dos and donts 
and change in attitude are just psychological , on the mental plane, 
and will not make one brahmin, if tried even life long , will not transform nor elevate him to ''brahma gyani'' and hence cannot make him brahmin

 

but 
a effective meditation process 
learned thru and practiced under guidance of guru, 
leads one directly to the sacred feet of krishna paramathma , 
i repeat, ''paramathma'' , ie ''parama'' purusha, in total surrender 
and root level purification and transformation takes place 
parama, para, are the key words , ie one to go beyond all the gross and finer levels of body , mind, intellect, feeling, words and meanings 
to the one silent pure consciousness, absolute para brahma ,the gyan murthi

 thru the gyan of that level, , all the impurities will be burnt , routed out from seed level 
and now the individual is a shining ''dwija'', twice born, a real brahmin in every sense of this great term
