卐 सत्यराम सा 卐
दादू सूना घट सोधी नहीं, पंडित ब्रह्मा पूत । 
आगम निगम सब कथैं, घर में नाचै भूत ॥ 
पढे न पावै परमगति, पढे न लंघै पार । 
पढे न पहुंचै प्राणियां, दादू पीड़ पुकार ॥ 
दादू निवरे नाम बिन, झूठा कथैं गियान । 
बैठे सिर खाली करैं, पंडित वेद पुरान ॥ 
दादू केते पुस्तक पढ़ मुये, पंडित वेद पुरान । 
केते ब्रह्मा कथ गये, नांहिन राम समान ॥ 
सब हम देख्या सोध कर, वेद कुरानों मॉंहि । 
जहॉं निरंजन पाइये, सो देश दूर, इत नांहि ॥ 
पढ पढ थाके पंडिता, किनहूँ न पाया पार । 
कथ कथ थाके मुनिजना, दादू नाम अधार ॥

A Brahman, of the high caste, saw the Buddha meditating by the River. Seeing the sage engaged and uplifted in his manner, the Brahman became curious. 

"What caste are you? Asked the Brahman. 
"Brahman, caste is irrelevant," said the Buddha. 
"How so," said the Brahman, "surely you would agree that the highest caste is of considerable value whereas, the low caste peasantry are not?" 

"Caste and riches matter not," replied the Buddha, "it is one's conduct that matters." 
"How so," said the Brahman. 

"In that fire comes from any type of wood so can a wise person come from any caste. It is through the knowing of truth that one becomes noble not through caste. The noble one is the one that doesn't cling to unworthy attachments. The noble one realizes the true way that things are, he no longer thinks of himself as a conditioned self and thus has gained clarity." 

The Brahman immediately saw the truth in the Buddha's words. 
"Sir, you are truly wise," said the Brahman, "truly wise".
