Just like in this our experience, a first-class brāhmiṇ, he is supposed a first-class man. But still there is contamination.

At least this contamination is there: "Oh, I am a brāhmiṇ. I am brāhmiṇ. I am bigger . . . I am greater than all others. I am learned, and I know all the Vedas. I know what is what. I understand Brahman." Because brahma jānātīti brāhmaṇaḥ, so he knows. So all these qualities, first-class brāhmiṇ, but still he is contaminated, because he is proud: "I am this. I am this."

That is material identification.
