Strength of Unity

[Guest guest]

Dear Mohan Rao Garu,

 

Love and Love alone.....

 

Varnas have not been created by any individual. They have been there

on the basis of division of labour and the same have been clearly

elaborated and authenticated by the Lord in the sacred text Srimad

Bhagavad Gita also.

 

Chaaturvarnyam mayaa srishtam

Gunakarma vibhaagasaha

Tasya karthaaramapimaam

Viddhya karthaaramavyayam

 

Ch. IV, Sloka 13

 

Lord says: Oh Arjuna! the Chatur Varnaas have been created by me on

the basis of Guna-karmas and they are Brahmana, Kshatriya, Vysya and

Shudra. Though I am the Creator, Ishwara and Immortal, please

remember that, in fact, I am not the doer and I am not in any of them.

 

If you read Purushasooktam, It says:

 

" Brahmanosya mukhamaaseeth

Baahu rajanya krithaha

Ooru tadasya yadvysyaha

Padbhyaagum Shudro ajaayata.

 

This is the roopa-kalpana of the Creator - the Viraat Purusha. From

his mouth came Brahmanas, from arms, came Kshatriyas and from thighs

came vysha and from the feet came shudra.

 

Now the point is, which varna is the most important one. The problem

arises only when there is competiton or comparison. In the human

body, each organ has its own importance. One cannot say that only a

part is important compared to other parts. Like wise, in a society,

each varna has its own importance and only when all they put

together, the society works at its best. But, unfortunately, we have

now divided ourselves into castes and subcastes, religions and

subreligions, states, districts, villages, etc. and fighting amongst

ourselves. All these problems are because of this one reason only and

the politicians are taking advantage of this division amongst us. We

are becoming pawns in their hands and in a way we are solely

responsible for the present sad state of affirs of this great

country. Let us put our heads together and think and try to find a

solution. Let us resolve to create a caste-less society in the near

future for overall growth of this great and ancient land.

 

Hari Om

Does this mean, sir, that we should still have four

varNas and have differences based on them? Any way,

apart from the accident of birth, what is the basis

of these varNas? I am eager to be enlightened.
