WHO IS AN OUTCAST?

 

WHO     IS   AN  OUTCAST?

When asked who is an outcast Lord Gautam Buddha replied : Not by birth does one become an outcast , not by birth does one become a Brahman.  It is by the nature of his deeds  that one becomes an outcast or a Brahman.  

According to deeds, an outcast is one who bursts into anger, bears hatred, acts wickedly, thinks  hypocritically, embraces error and behaves  deceitfully.

He is greedy, full of evil desires, wickedness, jealousy and shamelessness. He commits wrongs without fear. 

His birth has no connection with these evil deeds. Even a Brahman who commits these deeds may not be called a Brahman,
