I actually think this the main difference between Hinduism and Sikhism and the split between the 2 religions, the highest ideal in Hinduism is the brahmin while for us it is the Raaj-Yog/King-Yogi i.e. the ultimate Kshatriya which was manifested thru the Gurus and final Guru bestowed this sovereignty to Sikhs ("Khalsa mera roop hai khas"), Khalsa is highest while for the Hindu the brahmin is the highest, it is a varnic difference between ideals. One cannot exist underneath the other otherwise u have major contradictions - this solves Hum Hindu hain vs Hum Hindu nahin. Also their is more of a merger with the varna virtues Guru Sahib was farmer, set up a city/anandpur, wrote divine wisdom, a servant of the Guru (Bhai Lehna), was a philospher, musician etc.
