<span class="link">[[Vanisource:SB 7.9 Summary|SB 7.9 Summary]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prahlāda said, "I am not proud of being able to offer prayers to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. I simply take shelter of the mercy of the Lord, for without devotion one cannot appease Him. One cannot please the Supreme Personality of Godhead simply by dint of high parentage or great opulence, learning, austerity, penance or mystic power. Indeed, these are never pleasing to the Supreme Lord, for nothing can please Him but pure devotional service. Even if a nondevotee is a brāhmaṇa qualified with the twelve brahminical symptoms, he cannot be very dear to the Lord, whereas if a person born in a family of dog-eaters is a devotee, the Lord can accept his prayers. The Lord does not need anyone's prayers, but if a devotee offers his prayers to the Lord, the devotee benefits greatly. Ignorant persons born in low families, therefore, can sincerely offer heartfelt prayers to the Lord, and the Lord will accept them. As soon as one offers his prayers to the Lord, he is immediately situated on the Brahman platform.</p>

Such a devotee is better than such a brāhmaṇa because the devotee can purify his whole family, whereas the so-called brāhmaṇa in a position of false prestige cannot purify even himself.</p>

:dharmaś ca satyaṁ ca damas tapaś ca
:amātsaryaṁ hrīs titikṣānasūyā
:yajñaś ca dānaṁ ca dhṛtiḥ śrutaṁ ca
:vratāni vai dvādaśa brāhmaṇasya
<p>"A brāhmaṇa must be perfectly religious. He must be truthful, and he must be able to control his senses. He must execute severe austerities, and he must be detached, humble and tolerant. He must not envy anyone, and he must be expert in performing sacrifices and giving whatever he has in charity. He must be fixed in devotional service and expert in the knowledge of the Vedas. These are the twelve qualifications for a brāhmaṇa."</p>
<p>The Bhagavad-gītā (18.42) describes the brahminical qualities in this way:</p>
:śamo damas tapaḥ śaucaṁ kṣāntir ārjavam eva ca
:jñānaṁ vijñānam āstikyaṁ brahma-karma svabhāva-jam
<p>"Peacefulness, self-control, austerity, purity, tolerance, honesty, knowledge, wisdom and religiousness—these are the natural qualities by which the brāhmaṇas work."</p>
