The Most Intelligent Woman

pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi grāma sarvatra pracāra haibe mora nāma
“In every town, city, and village of the world, the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement will be preached.” How is it, then, that Europeans and Americans will not become  brāhmaṇas ? In fact, one who comes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness has already surpassed brāhmaṇism. As stated in  Bhagavad-gītā  (14.26):
māṁ ca yo 'vyabhicāreṇa bhakti-yogena sevate sa guṇān samatītyaitān brahma-bhūyāya kalpate
“One who takes to  bhakti-yoga  surpasses the modes of material nature and comes immediately to the transcendental platform [ brahma-bhūta ].” Not to speak of becoming a  brāhmaṇa , the person who fully engages in  bhakti-yoga  attains the highest transcendental platform.
The stereotyped, crippled idea that only a person born in a  brāhmaṇa  family can become a  brāhmaṇa  has killed Vedic civilization, but now we are reviving the correct understanding that the attainment of perfection is meant for everyone. In  Bhagavad-gītā  (9.32) Lord Kṛṣṇa says:
māṁ hi pārtha vyapāśritya ye 'pi syuḥ pāpa-yonayaḥ striyo vaiśyās tathā śūdrās te 'pi yānti parāṁ gatim
“O son of Pṛthā, those who take shelter in Me—though they be lowborn, women,  vaiśyas , or  śūdras —can approach the supreme destination.” Thus although women,  śūdras , and  vaiśyas  are ordinarily considered to belong to a lower class, when one becomes a devotee he or she goes beyond such designations. Women,  śūdras , and  vaiśyas  are ordinarily regarded as less intelligent, but if one takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness one is the most intelligent, as stated in the  Caitanya-caritāmṛta  ( kṛṣṇa yei bhaje sei baḍa catura ). And Caitanya Mahāprabhu says:
ei rūpe brahmāṇḍa bhramite kona bhāgyavān jīva guru-kṛṣṇa-prasāde pāya bhakti-latā-bīja
