विवेकचूडामणि २
जन्तूनां नरजन्मदुर्लभमतः पुंस्त्वं ततो विप्रता ।
तस्माद्वैदिकधर्ममार्गपरता विद्वत्त्वमस्मात्परम् ॥
आत्मानात्मविवेचनं स्वनुभवो ब्रह्मात्मना संस्थिति
-र्मुक्तिर्नो शतजन्मकोटिसुकृतैः पुण्यैर्विना लभ्यते ॥

The text describes :
It is indeed rare that a living being is born as a human, then again as one who is full of urge and enthusiasm to engaging into efforts to attain a goal (पुरुषार्थ / puruṣārtha)..
Then as there are only 4 पुरुषार्थ / puruṣārtha, worth striving for namely धर्म, अर्थ, काम मोक्ष / dharma, artha, kāma, mokṣa according to Veda, it is further even more rare that one has the tendencies / inclinations of the ब्राह्मण-वर्ण / brāhmaṇa-varṇa that create an intense urge for knowing the nature of Reality, ब्रह्म-जिज्ञासा / brahma-jijñāsā -विप्रता / vipratā that makes one deserving for learning the enquiry into the  Reality, ब्रह्म / brahma.
Further, Having mastered the learning and thus having the knowledge of That, does not free one from the cycle of reincarnation, but only after relinquished that as well one is indeed free and One with the Ultimate Reality / ब्रह्म / brahma.

Remark :
A Realized one thus transcends the bondage of the clan, caste, creed and class of the society as well and discards pride of being of a higher clan, caste,class creed and class as well.
