Is Albert Einstein considered a Brahmin due to his understanding of the universe and Brahman?

definition
"Einstein's brilliance in understanding the cosmos makes him a Brahmin in spirit, yet true Brahminhood lies in the experiential realization of the oneness within and without."
According to Osho, Einstein was more of a Brahmin than those by birth or ritual because of his humility and honesty; yet he was not a complete Brahmin. A true Brahmin is one who experientially realizes Brahman within and the oneness of inner and outer. Einstein mastered the outer cosmos but admitted ignorance of the inner, thus falling short of that realization.
Being a real Brahmin means directly feeling the One inside you; Einstein was humble and brilliant about the outside, but he didn’t discover the inside.
Why this matters practically
- Prize humility over titles and achievements.
- Seek direct inner experience, not secondhand or merely intellectual knowledge.
- Let outer success not inflate ego; balance exploring the world with self-inquiry.
