00:00Achare Ji, today in Atawa, why did religion cause a caste-based division?

00:07How can caste be something that comes by birth?

00:11An entire Upanishad is devoted to this, Vajrasuchika Upanishad.

00:14The student is asking the Rishi, what is caste?

00:17And the Rishi in the way of the Upanishads, they said, please tell me,

00:21does the body have caste? Does the blood have caste? Does the bone have caste?

00:25What has caste? And the disciple is intrigued.

00:27No, no, no, all these things cannot have caste, because these are just panchabhut.

00:32How can that have caste? This is just soil, how can soil have caste?

00:35If he says, don't you understand then what is caste?

00:37Caste is an imagination of the mind.

00:39Drop it, drop it right now, full stop.

00:42But to drop it, you need to have self-knowledge.

00:46So why did we do that?

00:47You have to realize, you have to go into yourself, you have to understand how the mind functions,

00:51you have to understand the ways of the ego, and then you will know how things like caste survive.
