 The most misunderstood verse and wrongly translated and poorly explained verse in the Bhagavad Gita that very few Gurus actually understand.

First let's see the usual poor translation.

9.32:

मां हि पार्थ व्यपाश्रित्य येऽपि स्यु: पापयोनय: |

स्त्रियो वैश्यास्तथा शूद्रास्तेऽपि यान्ति परां गतिम् ||

TRANSLATION

O son of Prtha, those who take shelter in Me, though they be of lower birth, women, vaisyas [merchants], as well as sudras [workers]-can approach the supreme destination.

Why is the above translation wrong?

Because of poor understanding of the esoteric meanings.

Why would God want to differentiate humans according to high, low, gender and caste?

Ok, let's see what this really means.

The word Papayoni always translated as sinful births.

Again its wrong!

Cos Papa isn't really a sin but its state where one has blocked himself/herself from Reality.

He refuses to open any door of knowing anything.

So this is the one who is a papayoni.

The word Yoni means Source.

All humans have the same Yoni(Source) that is we originated from One source(we can all the source Creator or God or It)

Next word is Stree(women)..why does this verse say even women can achieve the supreme destination making it sound as if a woman is at a state of disadvantage?

Nope! This does not refer to the biological gender, but it relates to attachment.

Ok, how?

Let's take a woman, 99.999% of women are deeply attached to their children.

Mother's love is the highest degree of attachment of all.

So anyone who possess a high degree of attachment for blood ties is called a woman.

So it could be a man too, a man who is overtly attached to his family too is but a "stree"

Next, Vaishyas(merchants)..is this a caste? Nope!

Its not.

It's talking about the transactional state of prayer we make when we seek God. It's like a business deal!

We seek rewards and we pray in a transactional format of "I pray to you, You give me Heaven, I pray to You, you keep me away from Hell Ok, I pray to you for this or that"..so one who prays like this is a Vaishya.This again can be anyone from Priest to a King or beggar can actually pray in a transactional format.

Now..finally what about a Shudra..hold your guns people! its not caste again.

Shudra means less.

So one who hasn't expanded his ability is a Shudra.

He/she just hasn't thought of any change in his/her life.

Again he/she can be a priest or king or beggar, sinner or saint.

Anyone who is still is the state of being lesser is a Shudra.

So this whole verse of the Bhagavad Gita isn't discriminatory at all even though many Gurujis would go ballistics in the wrong directions and giving the Gita a bad bad name.

Most important question..why the Brahmana and Kshatriya are not mentioned here?

Again it's not a caste..its a definition.

Brahmana is one who has realized Brahman.

Kshatriya is one who is no more in mode of ignorance or transaction but just still a battling his senses a little, hence he/she is on their way.

So these two have already crossed the initial hurdle and all the rest mentioned have full potential to do so hence everyone is fully entitled to reach the Supreme destination when they are ready.
