The word"Sudra" , "Khatriya" , "Brahman" and "Vaisya" Redefined from Spiritual Angle

The word"Sudra" , "Khatriya" , "Brahman" and "Vaisya" Redefined from Spiritual Angle

1. Sudras(Sevaks)-

When the child comes from the womb he has no awareness about anything whatsoever including God, Spirituality etc. as the child has no inbuilt software (like which is developed with the help of society) to decide to take or not to take the data which are being fed to him. Naturally his prime interest is to survive and for that sense organs are of immense benefit to him. The sense organs help him in making him aware about the world outside and also getting the softwares developed for his utilisation so that his life go on running smoothly. A child becomes a person at the age of about 21 (+ or - 2-3 years). As nobody tell/makes him understand up to this age that these sense organs are meant for his use or he should not be used by sense organs. That in other words sense organs are his servants and he is the master. As he is not aware of this he goes on being used by his sense organs i.e. he goes on serving them till his last breath. The persons who are engaged in the service of their sense organs have been labeled as Sudra(sevak).

2. Kshatriya(Fighter)-

If somehow the the person described above as sudra becomes aware of the facts that the sense organs are meant for his use, he starts trying to find some way so that the sense organs start behaving like his servant. But re-establishing the master servant relationship is not so easy. It takes a lot of time to happen. Whether it will happen or not there is no guarantee. For this to happen the person go to various Gurus/Masters, read scriptures, do sadhnas,yoga,meditations etc. So long as this does not happen the person's fight goes on. The persons who are engaged in the fight of re-establishing the Master- Servant relationship are labeled as Kshatriya.

All the Masters, Rishis who are revered by us have gone through all the above two stages.

3. Brahman (Enlightened/realised)

As soon as the Master and Servant relationship is established i.e. the person's attitude takes a 180 degree turn from earlier attitude when he was used by the servants. This is known as second birth in the world of spiritualism and he enters the world of Brahman suddenly which is an unexpected development for which he was not prepared at all. this phenomenon has been called Establishing in Oneself, Entering into the world of Brahman ,self-realisation, Enlightenment, Nirvana,Kaivalya, etc. Due to this these persons have beeb labeled as Brahmans (Dwija-second born). After this happening their behaviour becomes non-discriminating one just like God/Brahman/ishwara etc. And these persons have been labeled as brahmans.

4. Vaisya- This is not a stage at all. All the forms of life including Self-realised one has to do something in order to sustain the body through which they are being recognised. Hence everybody is engaged in this or that profession. The internal organs are also engaged for their survival. In this sense everybody is vaisya as long as body survives.

Hence there are only two stage either Sudra(Ignorant) or Brahmana(Enlightened). Kshatriya(confused) is just a transitional stage.

On this basis only the shastras have declared that " Every human being take birth as Sudra having potential to realise himself as Brahman, but tragedy is that most of them die also as Sudras only.

Pl don't misunderstand.
