“A Brahmin well versed in the scriptures is undoubtedly superior to an ignorant person.”
Rig Veda
“After their death, where will they be sent? The sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage give them no place of protection, and no Brahmin will eat their food. They remain polluted forever, day and night; they do not apply the ceremonial tilak mark to their foreheads. They sit together in silence, as if in mourning; they do not go to the Lord's Court.”
Sri Guru Granth Sahib
