Acharya Prashant explains the true meaning of being a 'Brahmin' by referencing the Vajrasuchi Upanishad. He addresses the widespread misconceptions held by both those who claim Brahmin status by birth and those who criticize Indian scriptures as promoters of a discriminatory caste system. He clarifies that the Upanishads do not support birth-based hierarchy; instead, they define a Brahmin as one who is free from all defects and is established in the non-dual self or 'Brahma-bhava'. He quotes Kabir Saheb to reinforce that a Brahmin is one who contemplates the Supreme Truth.
