Text 35] Indra Offends Brhaspati 55
It does not matter whether one is a brahmana, Sidra, grhastha or san-
nydsi. These are all material designations. A spiritually advanced person
has nothing to do with such designations. Therefore, if one is advanced
in the science of Krsna consciousness, regardless of his position in
human society, he may become a spiritual master.
