Verse 9.32
मां हि पार्थ व्यपाश्रित्य येऽपि स्युः पापयोनयः। स्त्रियो वैश्यास्तथा शूद्रास्तेऽपि यान्ति परां गतिम्।।9.32।।
māṁ hi pārtha vyapāśhritya ye ’pi syuḥ pāpa-yonayaḥ striyo vaiśhyās tathā śhūdrās te ’pi yānti parāṁ gatim
Meaning
Yo, Arjuna, even if you're, like, total trash—a woman, a Vaisya, a Shudra—if you're all about Krishna, you're straight up reaching the Supreme Goal.
Commentary
Okay, so like, even if you're, like, totally low on the totem pole—a woman, a Vaisya, a Shudra, or whatever—if you're all about Krishna, you're totally good. It's not about your background, fam. It's about devotion. Remember Gajendra, that elephant dude? Total beast mode, but he was all about Krishna, and boom, he got there. Even the most, like, *totally* messed-up people can reach Krishna if they're devoted. Think Prahlada, that demon dude? Crazy devoted, and Krishna had to show up as Narasimha. It's not about your birth, it's about your vibe. The Gopis? Devoted AF. Kamsa and Ravana? Scared straight. Sisupala? Hated Krishna, but still got there. Narada, Dhruva, Akrura, Suka, Sanatkumara—all devoted peeps. Nandan, a low-caste dude, saw Shiva. Raidas, a cobbler, was a total devotee. In the spiritual realm, all that caste, color, creed stuff? Gone. Shabari, a Bhilni, was all about Rama. Hinduism is all about inclusivity, fam. Anyone can reach God if they're devoted.
