sama veda 9 mantras.
This is a small Upanishad in prose ecept for the first mantra.
It asks the question. Who is a brahmana? and answers it.
The body, the individual soul, birth, knowledge, work, religious duties - none o0f these makes one a brahmana. It is character that makes a person a real brahmana.
One who has realised the Self, the one without a second, who is therefore free from all faults and defects, is a real brahmana. Peace of mind absence of desire, jealousy and delusion, as also egoism are his characteristics.
The text closes with the exhortation to one and all to become a true brahmana by realising Brahman.
