WHAT IS THE CASTE OF THE FIRST BORN MAN

 WAS Mr.FIRST A BRAHMIN OR A SHUDHRA?

 

The Vedha says that man is an uncreated being and ever-existing spiritual phenomenon like the Supreme Being. The Christian Bible says that man is created in the image of God. According to the Hindus ‘eternity’ is the image of God and man is created in this particular image of the Almighty.

So it is evident that the first born-man to the last born, essentially, belong to no sect of this material world as they are mere projection and not creation. An ever existing consciousness (man) cannot be ascribed to any of the created castes of this material world.

Let’s analyze the caste of the First Born.

Could the first man be a Brahmin? No, because there was neither scripture for the Brahmin to learn nor there was anyone to be taught by him.

Could he be a Kshatriya, the fighter and protector? If so, who was there to be protected and against whom he had to wage the war?

And being born as a Vaishya, the trader!

There was no possibility for a trade since the’ Mr.First’ alone was the sole producer and consumer.

And there was no possibility of being born as a Shudra, the servant, since there were no Brahmins,Kshatriyas or Vaishyas to be served by him.

It is explicitly clear that caste is not born with the Mr.First or inherited by the later men, but was created by the selfish men in the middle.

Many non-Hindus believe that caste is an integral part of Hinduism. The truth is that Vedic caste was not based on birth culture, but purely based on three Gunas; SATHVIK (spiritual), RAJASIK (passionate) and THAMASIK (devilish ignorance).

In one’s life time one can be lowered to a Thamasik from the Sathvik or can be uplifted to Sathvik from Thamasik or Rajasik.

According to sanathanadharma, caste is purely a spiritual culture, not a birth culture. A doctor’s son cannot be born as a doctor with stethoscope around his neck, he has to be evolved as a doctor. A Brahman is not born, but to be nurtured spiritually.

The question remains:

If the uncreated Mr.First was a Brahmin by birth, the rest-born are all Brahmins.

Had he been a Shudra, then we would all be Shudras, naturally.
