Caste system

MASTER-PUPIL TALKS - Chapter 22

"Sir, Do you have anything to say about the Caste system?"

"I have a lot to say about many things. But I don't want people just to listen and forget about it … Like lectures; Harikathas …"

"But we are very serious about this subject!"

"Yes … Serious about knowing … Gathering information … How much are you practising? How far Meditations have brought changes in your life …? Where is the transformation?"

"…………………"

"I am not trying to belittle you. I am telling you about the Pralaya. The Change. There must be a change. You must allow Meditations to change your life …"

"…………………"

"Well, you wanted to know about the Caste system … If you replace the word Caste by profession, you will understand all about it. It began like that only. You see, a teacher or a Spiritual guide was known as a Brahmin, a warrior was a Kshatriya, a businessman Vysya and the one who lives by physical work, a Shudra."

"Then, how did it become hereditary?"

"Only by accident. A teacher's son became a teacher. If he took up business, he became a Vysya. If he took up physical work, he became a Shudra. If a Shudra's son took up teaching, he became a Brahmin!"

"Sir, is it that simple?"

"Yes, it began like that. When selfishness and exploitation grew, the Caste system developed."

"If we explain these clearly …"

"People understand and may accept on the intellectual plane. But they will not adapt it in life."

"What is to be done by us?"

"Leave the fighting to the politicians and Meditate. Spread Meditations. This Spiritual wave removes selfishness in man, then all problems vanish."

"Is it really possible?"

"Yes, definitely. That is our work. To spread the Spiritual Revolution. Begin with your Meditation."
