Here God has given the names of seven types of people who are entitled to God Realization ‒ those with bad conduct, sinful ones, women, Vaishya, Sudra, Brahmana, Kshatriya. There is no human being that falls outside these seven categories. Whatever may be his birth, whatever may be his “jaati”, however may his conduct, however many sins he may have committed in the past life, but all are entitled to God Realization. Brahman, Kshatriya, Vaishya, Sudra - all four of these “varnas” have been named. In order that no one misunderstands that in all these four “varnas,” it is applicable to men and men only, for this reason, God even individually named the women folks. He also names those who are lower than the four “varnas” , that appeared in the category of the sinful ones (paapayoni)* Besides human beings, the other creatures (animals, birds etc) can also be considered to be within the category of the “sinful womb”; because all beings are a “ansh” part of God and thus being so, from God’s side, there is no objection to any one from becoming inclined towards God. He who is doing sinful acts at present, he is a “duraachari” (person with bad conduct) and due to past sins, he who is born in lower births (wombs), he is called “paapyoni” (born of sinful wombs). It means that even a person who is of the worst of worst conduct and a person of the lowest of lowest forms of births, is entitled to God Realization. He who has done virtuous deeds in the past life, has been called a Brahmin with pure conduct, and those who are virtuous in the present birth, are called “Rishi Swaroop” Kshatriya. Similarly those who are sinful from past births, are called “paapyoni”, and those who are sinful in the present birth, they are called “duraachaari” (people with bad conduct). All types of human beings can attain God. Therefore, on acquiring this human body, that is impermanent and void of any happiness, in other words, one must renounce desire that may I live indefinitely and may I continue to enjoy pleasures, and one must become devoted to worship and prayer of God. This human body is for worship and devotion, not for enjoyment of pleasures ‒‘एहि तन कर कल बिषय न भाई’ (मानस ७ । ४४ । १) The first and foremost work is to recognize our aim. When the aim is unswerving and unwavering, the means for its fulfillment will become available on its own. (to be continued)
