Giriraj Swami read and spoke from Srimad-Bhagavatam 2.3.23.
“Srila Prabhupada was speaking about varnasrama-dharma—brahmacari, grhastha, vanaprastha, sannyasa, brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, and sudra. Someone challenged, ‘You have described this hierarchy of different categories, so where do you fit in?’ He assumed that Srila Prabhupada had presented the explanation to establish himself at the top. Srila Prabhupada was silent, then looked down and said, ‘I am the lowest. I am the servant of everyone.’ So that was his mood, and such a person is very dear to Krishna.”
