Picture by V&A

On the difference between Brahmin and a Sudra

It is all one skin and bone,

one piss and shit,

one blood one meat,

from one drop, a universe.

Who is Brahmmin? Who is Shudra?

On who is Bigger

Is the Brahma bigger than where he came from?

Is the Veda bigger or where he came from?

Is the mind bigger than what it believes in?
