Full of smiles, Chaitanya went closer to mendicant - a chandala (Untouchable) and said endearingly: ‘My son, never say that you are mean, despicable or unworthy. Who is mean and who is sacred on this earth? All are sacred because the same God shines in every one’s heart. So, please come inside without any hesitation.’ You are only betraying your ignorance by observing untouchability, ignoring the divinity inherent in every being. God has no distinctions of caste and creed. There is no caste for any of the five elements, namely, earth, water, fire, air and sky, all of which have emanated from God. Irrespective of the castes and creeds professed by men, all are equally sharing the bounties of Nature offered by the five elements. Therefore, there is no need to observe such differences of caste and creed. Come closer to me. (SSS Vol.26, pp. 95-97)
