Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 18
In fact, a man of a high caste, has to face difficulty in obeying scriptural injunctions thoroughly, and so he attains salvation with difficulty, while a man of lower caste attains Him easily. In this context, there is a story in the Visnu Purana. Once several sages went to Vedavyasa, in order to know his decision about the relative superiority of castes (Varna). Vedavyasa received them cordially and went to take a bath in the Ganges. While bathing he uttered three times "Kaliyuga (Kali age), you are lucky; Women, you are lucky; Sudras, you are lucky." When he came back, the sages asked him how Kali age, women and Sudras were lucky. He answered, "In the Kali age, women and Sudras by performing their duties, can attain salvation quickly, and easily."
