Once a
fellow traveller asked Sree Narayana Guru(famed social reformer and
revolutionary against caste-ism in the Indian society, seen by many as a
saint and revered for his knowledge of the Hindu Vedas) - "Which caste
are you?"
Pat came the reply: "Don't you recognize, by what you see?"
"No!" replied the surprised enquirer.
"In that case"the Guru told him,"if you do not know by what you see, how will you know by what you hear?!"
~as narrated by Dr. Samadani,a Muslim scholar, at a speech in 2010 in Abu Dhabi at a Christian Youth Conference.
