Sriman Mahaprabhu did not advocate caste differenciation

During one time a scholar of the Brahma Samaj came to see Srila Prabhupad and he was of the opinion that Mahaprabhu was an advocate of the caste differentiation that was prevalent in those times. Srila Prabhupad firmly refuted this point by remarking that Sriman Mahaprabhu was neutral on that score and unattached but in order to make for less chaos in society, he externally followed the strictures of behavior as exhibited by all people especially the ritualistic workersthough being of the higher caste Himself. Notwithstanding, there was never a time that he regarded a devotee of the Lord in terms of his birth or caste while on the other hand, he rigidly did not accept cooked food from non devotees even though the person concerned may hail from a high caste. This was typical in all His dealings .Only the Brahmin who daily chanted a lakh of holy names and worshiped Vishnu purely was able to able to serve and offer Him cooked grains. In this context there is the example of the Sannodiya Brahmin who was a simple and pure devotee and disciple of Madhvendra Puri who’s cooking would be taboo in normal circumstances for ascetics to accept but Mahaprabhu did eat in his house. In short, one of the most important instruction that Mahaprabhu had left the world is not to consider and treat a devotee on the stigma of his previous birth or caste and also to not to view the remnants of the food offered to the Supreme Lord in the perspective of ordinary rice, or grain. The servants of the Lord and the food offered to the Lord are all transcendental and cannot be compared to be material therefore Mahaprabhu forbade such differentiation in this respect. The smarta or ritualistic workers are adamant in their defense of caste preservation while the Brahma Samaj and like societies want to end it all together .In this respect the devotees only want to serve the Lord and act favorably to carry out devotional service while giving up all such designations which is in the bodily conception of life .
