In this thread I'll debunk the delusion that #Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya or Shudrā is determined on the basis of their birth and not by their inherent qualities and behavior once and for all, as that's the root of all evil causing destruction of our civilization and existence !
Let's start with the saying of Adi Shankaracharya who was a proponent of Advaita Vedanta that revealed the highest metaphysical reality of the universe.
“न मे मृत्युशंका न मे जातिभेदः...” that means may neither be any fear of death nor any discrimination on the basis of caste.
This verse form Manusmriti is one of the most misinterpreted one. One should always focus on the word द्विज/ 2ⁿᵈ Birth attained due to संस्कार/education in real essence one gets.
So, a Shudrā by definition is that person who doesn't get ‘educated’, so he suffers eternally.
This verse from Skanda Purana narrates the journey of a person to become a #Brahmin from Shudrā [शुचा द्रवति इति शूद्रः/who's in grief & anxiety due to ignorance], that echoes the same thought we find in “तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय” that means a journey from ignorance to enlightenment.
This verse from Yajurveda clearly indicates that everyone including women and Shudrās should have EQUAL access to the knowledge of Vedas, that logically nullifies that Shudrās can't get enlightened and become #Brahmins by dint of acquiring knowledge and know the ultimate truth.
In this verse from Bhagvad Geeta, Lord Krishna proclaims that it is he, the creator of the #Multiverse, who demarcated four Varnas on the basis of their गुणः/Quality and कर्म/Deed.
So, it's the Quality and Deeds do determine one's Varna, and it doesn't depend on birth factor.
This verse from Bhagvad Geeta is mostly misinterpreted, including some recent ‘Shankaracharyas’, as it actually points out to a situation when one is born due to unwanted pregnancy viz. prostitution or forced relationship with a DEVIL from an invading army ruining family values.
Finally, though I know that “उपदेशो हि मूर्खाणां प्रकोपाय न शान्तये...” I did my duty as a #Brahmin to speak out the truth so that those who're knowingly or unknowingly doing harm to Sanatan Dharma through ‘activism’ must realize that they are the main enemies of Sanatan Dharna.
