Verse 1.3.6: Brahmana is not a qualification by birth, but it is by action. Srila Prabhupada said that he came to bring Vedic culture to America, but reporters were saying that he brought cast system to America. To this, Srila Prabhupada said no, I am bringing a system that is there in the scriptures. Someone is very intelligent, someone is not so, someone is very less, so comes Brahmana, Vysya and Sudra. Srila Prabhupada said it is already there in America. An intelligent class, not so intelligent mercantile class and the labor class, people are there with such qualities.
A Brahmana means brahma janati brahmana. They are very very intelligent class. Eg: 4 Kumaras, the sons of Brahma. They are bachelors, extremely qualified to be Brahmanas. Their energy is flowing upwards, and so they are not interested in any material things, only interested in spiritual brahman realization.
