#SriAurobindo : It is not the weak and the coward who can climb up to God, but the strong and brave alone. Every individual Jivatman must become the perfect Kshatriya before he can become the Brahmin. For there is a caste of the soul which is truer and deeper than that of the
body. Through four soul-stages a man must pass before he can be perfect ;first, as a Sudra, by service and obedience to tame the brute in his being ;then as a Vaishya to satisfy within the law of morality the lower man in him and evolve the higher man by getting the first taste
of delight in well-doing to others than himself and his ;then, as the Kshatriya, to be trained in those first qualities without which the pursuit of the Eternal is impossible, courage, strength, unconquerable tenacity and self-devotion to a great task ;last, as the Brahmin, so
to purify body & mind and nature that he may see the Eternal reflected in himself as in an unsoiled mirror. Having once seen God, man can have no farther object in life than to reach and possess Him.
