Guest guest Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Every human being is a child of the universe and the universe is his home. The sojourn on the earth is like erecting a camp for a day. Each one of us is a child and an inseparable part of the universe, and we would remain so for an endless duration. Sage Narada in his 72nd Bhakthi Sutra explains that there are no distinctions of caste, culture, beauty, kulam, prosperity or profession among ideal devotees. As per Srimad Bhagavatham, the highest type of devotee is one, who sees the glory of the God reflected in all beings, high and low, and perceives all beings as dwelling in Him. The lives of mystics reveal that God is beyond distinctions like religion, caste, culture, family, wealth or profession. Jesus was a carpenter, Prophet Mohammed belonged to a trader community, Kanaka Dasa was a shepherd by birth, and Vijaya Dasa was a Brahmin. Nama Dev was a tailor, Ekanath was a Sanskrit scholar, Tukaram was a farmer, Gurunanak was a farmer, Gora was a potter, and Kabir was a weaver. Tulsidas was a Brahmin, Daadu was a cotton cleaner, and Raidas was a cobbler. Sree Narayana Guru belonged to a backward community, and Thunjath Ezhuthachan who wrote the Adhyatma Ramayanam also belonged to a backward community.
