TRANSLATION
“Anywhere and everywhere I go, all people offer me respect. Even without my asking, they voluntarily give me riches, clothing and paddy.”
PURPORT
A  brāhmaṇa  does not become anyone's servant. To render service to someone else is the business of the  śūdras . A  brāhmaṇa  is always independent because he is a teacher, spiritual master and advisor to society. The members of society provide him with all the necessities for life. In  Bhagavad-gītā  the Lord has divided society into four divisions— brāhmaṇa ,  kṣatriya ,  vaiśya  and  śūdra . A society cannot run smoothly without this scientific division. A  brāhmaṇa  should give good advice to all the members of the society, a  kṣatriya  should look after the administration, law and order of the society,  vaiśyas  should produce and trade in all the needs of the society, whereas  śūdras  should render service to the higher sections of society (the  brāhmaṇas ,  kṣatriyas  and  vaiśyas ).
Jagannātha Miśra was a  brāhmaṇa . Therefore people would send him all bodily necessities—money, cloth, grain and so on. While Lord Caitanya was in the womb of Śacīmātā, Jagannātha Miśra received all these necessities of life without asking for them. Because of the presence of the Lord in his family, everyone offered him due respect as a  brāhmaṇa . In other words, if a  brāhmaṇa  or  Vaiṣṇava  sticks to his position as an eternal servant of the Lord and executes the will of the Lord, there is no question of scarcity for his personal maintenance or the needs of his family.
