Devīdāsa Vidyāratna was a teacher, and for along time he had been firmly convinced that the brāhmaṇas were foremost among all varṇas. He believed that no one except brāhmaṇas are fit to obtain the highest goal of life, and that unless he takes birth in a brāhmaṇa family, the jīva cannot attain mukti. He also believed that birth in such a family is the sole cause of developing the characteristic nature of a brāhmaṇa. When he heard the discussions between the Vaiṣṇavas and the descendant of Chānd Kāzī, he became completely dissatisfied. He could not penetrate the statements of Kāzī Sāhib at all, for they were full of deep, fundamental truths.
Perturbed at heart, Devīdāsa Vidyāratna began to think, “Indeed the Muslim race is a strange phenomenon, and one cannot make any sense of what they say. Of course, father has studied Farsi and Arabic, and he has been studying religion for along time, but why does he give so much respect to the Muslims? A Hindu is obliged to take a bath in order to purify himself if he as much as touches a Muslim, so what could Paramahaṁsa Bābājī Mahārāja have been thinking when he invited such a person to be seated in the assembly and offered him so much respect?”
