When the whole world is made of the same element then why make such distinctions?

RAAG BHAIRAO, THIRD MEHL, CHAUPADAS, FIRST HOUSE:

ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU:

No one should be proud of his social class and status.

He alone is a Brahmin, who knows God. || 1 ||

Do not be proud of your social class and status, you ignorant fool!

So much sin and corruption comes from this pride. || 1 || Pause ||

Everyone says that there are four castes, four social classes.

They all emanate from the drop of God’s Seed. || 2 ||

The entire universe is made of the same clay.

The Potter has shaped it into all sorts of vessels. || 3 ||

The five elements join together, to make up the form of the human body.

Who can say which is less, and which is more? || 4 ||

Says Nanak, this soul is bound by its actions.

Without meeting the True Guru, it is not liberated. || 5 || 1 ||

BHAIRAO, THIRD MEHL:

The Yogis, the householders, the Pandits, the religious scholars, and the beggars in religious robes — they are all asleep in egotism. || 1 ||

They are asleep, intoxicated with the wine of Maya Only those who remain awake and aware are not robbed. || 1 || Pause ||

One who has met the True Guru, remains awake and aware. Such a person overpowers the five thieves. || 2 ||

One who contemplates the essence of reality remains awake and aware.

He kills his self-conceit, and does not kill anyone else. || 3 ||

One who knows the One Lord remains awake and aware.

He abandons the service of others, and realizes the essence of reality. || 4 ||

Of the four castes, whoever remains awake and aware is released from birth and death. || 5 ||

Says Nanak, that humble being remains awake and aware, who applies the ointment of spiritual wisdom to his eyes. || 6 || 2 ||
