When one identifies his body, his mind, his activities—everything—with Kṛṣṇa, then there is no more such distinction of "higher" and "lower," either in work or in thinking or in action. No more. Because that is the purificatory process. Never mind what was your status of life, what was your family life. It doesn't matter. Prāṇaṁ punāti sa kulaṁ—he is immediately purified. Not only himself, but with his whole family, purified.

Considering the present status, everything has topsy-turvy—therefore to bring everything on the equal level of high standard and perfectional standard is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. If the people of the world accepts this philosophy, Kṛṣṇa consciousness, there is no more higher and lower level. Samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu (BG 18.54). Samaḥ. Samaḥ means equal—all living entities on the same level. And how it is possible? Brahma-bhūtaḥ (BG 18.54): when they are identified with Brahman, that means Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is Parabrahma.

So when one identifies his body, his mind, his activities—everything—with Kṛṣṇa, then there is no more such distinction of "higher" and "lower," either in work or in thinking or in action. No more. Because that is the purificatory process. Never mind what was your status of life, what was your family life. It doesn't matter. Prāṇaṁ punāti sa kulaṁ—he is immediately purified. Not only himself, but with his whole family, purified.

Prāṇaṁ punāti. Na tu bhūrimānaḥ: and that man who is under false prestige, impression that, "I am this," "I am that," "I am higher," he cannot deliver himself even, because what is the value of false prestige? False prestige has no value. If you are actually brahmin or if you are actually king, you can be proud of your position that, "I am king," "I am this" or "that." But actually if you are less than the śvapacaṁ, the dog-eaters, but why should you be proud of your false prestige?
