So when it is creation by the Supreme Lord, it is not that the Brahmins are to be found only in India. That is another wrong conclusion. Because Brahmins means representation of the quality of goodness. Anywhere you find the quality of goodness, that is brāhmaṇism.

Guṇa-nāma-kriyā-rūpair vibhāvyante yathā-tatham. And those qualities, guṇa-nāma, guṇa-nāma-kriyā-rūpaiḥ, when the qualities begin to act, they are represented in different varieties, these qualities. These qualities of goodness, passion and ignorance, when they are interacted, they represent in different varieties of representation. Just like when there is quality of goodness, then it is brāhmaṇism. That is the representation of the quality of goodness.

And when the quality of passion is represented, that is the quality of kṣatriya. And when the quality of ignorance is represented, that is the presentation of the śūdras. And mixed-up quality of ignorance and passion, that is vaiśya. Cātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛṣṭaṁ guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśaḥ (BG 4.13). That is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā that, "These four qualitative representation, Brahmin, kṣatriya . . ."

So when it is creation by the Supreme Lord, it is not that the Brahmins are to be found only in India. That is another wrong conclusion. Because Brahmins means representation of the quality of goodness. Anywhere you find the quality of goodness, that is brāhmaṇism. So these American, European boys, when they have developed their quality of goodness, Kṛṣṇa consciousness, they are Brahmins. If they are considered as mlecchas and yavanas, that is nārakīya-buddhi, hellish consideration.

Vaiṣṇave jāti-buddhiḥ: if anyone considers a Vaiṣṇava, a devotee of the Lord, in the categorical estimation of birth, then that is hellish consideration. Vaiṣṇave jāti-buddhiḥ. Arcye viṣṇau śilā-dhīr guruṣu nara-matiḥ (Padma Purāṇa). Just like here we are worshiping Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa Deity. You have all come here early in the morning, and . . . so does it mean that you are all fools? You have come to see a brass idol is being worshiped here? So anyone who considers the Deity as arcye śilā-dhīḥ, made of stone, made of brass, made of wood, that is nārakī-buddhiḥ. Arcye śilā-dhīḥ. Śilā. Śilā means stone.
