Bhakt : Prabhu I want to know one thing.
Bhagwan : Yes, I know.
Bhakt : You know....?
Bhagwan : You want to know what is this caste system all about and why do people fight over caste? Why do people use bad language against other's caste? What makes them so high?
Bhakt : Yes Prabhu, why all this and what good it does ?
Bhagwan : If you see today people become doctors, engineers, artist, soldiers or get into business to make a career for them self. Similarly in earlier years people chose to be in different kinds of works. Some became Learners some Warriors some got into Business and others into Service industry. They were called Brahmins Shatriya Vaishya and Shudra. Since in those days there was no formal education, people used to follow their ancestral path. And so that continued and became a sort of system.
Bhakt : So it is system by birth.
Bhagwan : Not at all. That is the biggest sin humans have ever done. There were two major mistakes. One, there is no higher or lower among the four. All four are necessary for human existence. For example a human body can not survive without brain, heart, lungs or kidneys. Can anyone look down upon kidneys? That's idiotic. Secondly it has nothing to do with birth. Any one with potential can become a learner. Just like today a scientist's child may becomes a scientist but that is not necessary, he or she can choose to be soldier or start some business or get into some service industry. He or she must go through education or training.
Bhakt : But politicians are by birth, right Prabhu?
Bhagwan : You have a point but that is not true completely. They too have to win public support, win elections and provide good governance otherwise they can not succeed.
Bhakt : So you mean there are no highers or lowers.
Bhagwan : How there can be. When I created them all, all are my children then what are they trying to do? Decide my caste ? Learners claim to be closer to me but they are the ones who are hurting me the most.
Bhakt : So Prabhu why caste system is still there?
Bhagwan : Brain doesn't work. I gave them brain to use and create a world where there is peace, harmony, equality, freedom, wisdom, knowledge, courage and love. It is supposed to be my big family. But look what they have done.
Bhakt : So what to do Prabhu?
Bhagwan : Use brain. At least those who can use brains must declare that there is nothing called caste. This caste system must end. Human beings are just human beings. Let us see if they use brain now.
Bhakt : Using brain Prabhu ............... Naaraayan Naaraayan !!!
