There is no room for higher and lower among the aspects of Godhead; there
is no room for inferior or superior in status among the various sections of
mankind. The Purushasuuktha speaks of the Brahmin being the face, the
Kshathriya the hands, the Vaishya the thighs, and the Shudhra, the feet of the
cosmic Purusha. Apart from the figurative meaning that the passage obviously
carries, when God is one uniform sweetness and wisdom and grace, any part is as
sweet, as effulgent, as graceful as every other. A sugar doll is sweet all
through; the limbs are as much sugar as the head. The trouble comes and the
quarrel starts only as a result of the want of Prema towards sugar.
- From Bhagawan's Discourse in Badrinath Temple, 1961.
