00:00When you require immediate blood transfusion, you inquire into the caste of the blood donor,
00:05you will die. And then you, in fact, do not. Because you know in your own heart that all
00:10this is just sham. And your son is dying. And you say, please, please, please get me B positive.
00:15You do not say, I want only Brahmin or Kayasth or Rajput B positive. You don't do that. Or do
00:21you do that? Then all these notions of superiority and purity of blood, they just vanish. The thing
00:26is, we all are people of mixed blood now. Think of your own lineage. Somebody in your line must
00:32have had a blood transfusion at some point in time. Either your father or grandfather or somebody. So
00:37you have mixed blood. So have I. Everybody has mixed blood. So caste is gone anyway. Finished.
00:42Even if you go to the scriptures, they are very clear. Very clear. Jayate Shudra. The one who
00:48takes birth is Shudra. The meaning is very clear. The body is Shudra. So there is no difference at
00:54the time of birth. Only the beast is born.
