The one who has realized the Brahman (God) is Brahmin, not the one who is born in the Brahmin caste.

The Vedic system did not have castes system. The Hinduism is nothing to with the ancient Vedic religion or Santana Dharma.

The caste system was a fake creation in the name of Hinduism. This non-Vedic belief system called Hinduism has created hatred in the low caste Hindu for the higher caste.

Hindus indulges non-Vedic beliefs such as idolatry, ancestor worship, pilgrimages, priestcraft, offerings made in temples, the caste system, untouchability and child marriages. All these lack Vedic sanction, therefore, Hinduism is not Ancient Vedic religion or Santana Dharma.

All Hindus indulge in non-Vedic practice barred by the Vedas introduced by the different founders of the different sects of Hinduism at different times, whereas the Vedic religion or Santana Dharma is ancient and has no founder. Many followers of Hinduism do translate the Vedas to fit into Hindu thought by changing the translation to reflect the beliefs of monism, reincarnation, the caste system and absence of animal and human sacrifice. However, this poor translators.

In the Vedic era, a Brahmin was a person who had acquired Self- knowledge or Brahma Gnana Atma Gnana.

This was an extremely difficult path of the discipline of body, mind, and intellect, and people irrespective of their birth or class, who dedicated to such an austere life, were recognized as Brahmins.

A great example of this tradition (that a person becoming a Brahmin, rather than born as one) is the case of Vishwamitra, a warrior (Kshatriya), who became a Brahmin after attaining Atma Gnana or Brahma Gnana or Self-Knowledge.

A smritis or code of conduct composed by Sage Sri, Atri defines Brahminhood very clearly.

"By birth, every man is a Shudra (an ignorant person). Through various types of disciplines (samskaras), he becomes a dwija (twice born). Through the studies of scriptures, he becomes a vipra (or a scholar). Through the realization of supreme spirit (brahmajnana), he becomes a Brahmin.”

The belief that people born in Brahmin caste, automatically become Brahmins, is a much later concept in the very ancient India. Thus, Brahmin means not caste but one who has attained Atma Gnana or Brahma Jnana.

The one who has realized the Brahman (God) is Brahmin, not the one who is born in the Brahmin caste. Anyone can become Brahmin by acquiring Brahma Gnana.

The very concepts of castes by birth, upper/lower castes, superior/inferior castes, outcastes, untouchables, Dalits, etc. are clearly prohibited by Rig-Veda”.

A Brahmin is not a Brahmin a merely because he is born out of a Brahmin mother’s womb. Nor he is Brahmin merely because he is born in the Brahmin caste. Brahmin is not Caste it is the state of God. Anyone can become a Brahmin by acquiring Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

A Brahmin is one who has acquired Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana or one who is free from the ignorance.

A Brahmin is a person who has got rid of the ignorance; He has traveled beyond all bonds of form, time and space. He is no longer tied to the illusory form, time and space. A person who has acquired Advaitic Gnana is a Brahmin, not a person who indulges in priestcraft.

The Brahmin is one who does not belong to any religion, caste, race or nationality because he does not belong to the domain of the form, time and space. He, even being within the domain of the form, time and space he is not of the form, time and space.

The water does not get attached to the surface of the lotus leaf. The mustard seed does not get attached to the point of a needle. In the same way, the Brahmin does not get attached to religion or caste, race or nationality. He is non-attached from the world in which he exists even though he is in the world; he is not of this world.
