भिन्न वर्ण के पुरुष द्वारा भिन्न वर्ण की स्त्री से उत्पन्न सन्तान यानी ब्राह्मण यदि शूद्रा को गर्भवती बनाता है, तो उस शूद्रा स्त्री से उत्पन्न सन्तान वर्णसंकर कहलायेगी, क्योंकि उसकी जाति में दो भिन्न वर्णों के खून का मिश्रण है।)
इसीलिए मैं कहता हूं ‘वर्ण’ का सटीक अंग्रेज़ी अनुवाद ‘species’ हैं, ‘caste’ अथवा ‘class’ नहीं। ब्राह्मण धर्म का मानना हैं कि सृष्टि के आरम्भ में, यज्ञ के निमित्त, प्रजापति ब्रह्मा ने चार पृथक और ‘पदसोपान’ होमो प्रजातियां बनाई, जिनको वर्ण कहा गया। फिर इन्हीं चार वर्णों के मिश्रण से हज़ारों ‘वर्णसंकर’ जातियों की उत्पति हुई, जो पदसोपान में चार ‘वर्णशुद्ध’ जातियों के मध्य अथवा नीचे स्थान रखती हैं। क्योंकि ‘संकरण’ केवल दो भिन्न-भिन्न species के मध्य ही हो सकता हैं, एक ही species के सदस्यों के मध्य नहीं।

“Over a billion people believe in Allah without truly knowing what Allah supposedly stands for or what he really demands of them. And the minority that do understand continue to be Moslems because they have redefined their morality and ethics to fit within the teachings of Islam, which are floridly lacking in morality. They therefore redefine what is good and evil in order to fit their lives into what is preached by Islam, instead of examining Islam to see if it fits within the good life. Backwards thinking, imposed by a backward religion.”

“Loving just one is too little; loving all is being superficial; knowing yourself and loving as many as possible, letting your soul hide all the powers of love in itself, so that each gets its particular nourishment while consciousness nevertheless embraces it all – that is enjoyment, that is living.”
