according to different grades of person, the taste is also different. You cannot expect that the taste will be the same. "One man's food, another man's poison." This is a English proverb. One man's food is another man's poison. Therefore the society is divided. That is scientific method, class. Cātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛṣṭaṁ guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśaḥ (BG 4.13). That is God's creation, four classes, men. And the fifth class is almost rejected. Up to fourth class. First class, second class, third class, fourth class. And below fourth class, from fifth class, they are, they are not human being. So taste of different classes are different. But one thing is that in whichever class we may belong, if you take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, then we become one. People are wanting unity. There is United Nation organization, but so long we keep ourself on the material platform there cannot be unity. That is not possible. Only in the spiritual platform there can be unity.
So here it is said that aghavān. Aghavān means sinful. Agha means sin, and vān means . . . Just like bhagavān. Bhagavān means one who has bhaga, or opulence, or fortune. That is called bhagavat. And just the opposite is called aghavān. This is Sanskrit language. bhagavān means the most opulent, topmost place, bhagavān. And aghavān means lowest place. So here it is said that one has to become aghavān to the stage of bhagavān. This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness: not to remain aghavān, but to become bhagavān. Bhagavān, of course, means the Supreme Personality of Godhead. But those who are very, very advanced, recognized by Bhagavān, they are also sometimes called bhagavān. Just like Lord Śiva, Lord Brahmā, Nārada Muni, on their status, sometimes they are called bhagavān.
Nowadays it has become a fashion to become bhagavān. So bhagavān is not so cheap. Everyone is aghavān. But if he wants to become bhagavān, or in the higher status, higher level, then it is recommended, "Let him take to the devotional service." Vāsudeve bhagavati bhakti-yoga-prayojitaḥ, janayaty āśu vairāgyam (SB 1.2.7). To become bhagavān . . . not Bhagavān, but on the level, means highest stage, two things required. One thing is jñāna and one thing is vairāgya. Jñāna and vairāgya. Because we are in this material world, miserable condition, but we have no knowledge that we are in a very miserable condition. That is ajñāna. As soon as one understands that this is miserable condition of life . . .
That was presented by Sanātana Gosvāmī before Caitanya Mahāprabhu. He said . . . He was minister and very opulent position, very good associates. Because he was minister, so his associates are also very big men. But he resigned. He resigned. That is vairāgya. So why? To understand what is the aim of life. Tad vijñānārthaṁ sa gurum eva abhigacchet (MU 1.2.12). Therefore he came to Caitanya Mahāprabhu for understanding the value of life. So he presented himself that grāmya vyavahāre kaha ei paṇḍita: "So in this ordinary behavior they call me paṇḍita, learned. But . . ." Satya kari māni: "I also accepted that I am paṇḍita or learned. But actually, my position is, I do not know what I am. I am such a paṇḍita, such a learned man."
