The Human Being in the Eye of the Hindu: Caste System in Hinduism

The Human Being in the Eye of the Hindu: Caste System in Hinduism: "Carefully elaborated in the Vedas and principally produced in the Laws of Manu, the divinely ordained duties of human beings in accordance to caste system or "varnashrama-dharma" were identified in fours distinct orders (varnas). In an ideological framework, the castes were defined as priests and teachers (Brahmin), rulers and warriors (Kshatriya), merchants, craftsmen, and farmers (Vaishyas), and servants (Shudras). The heart and very definition of the Hindu society is the varnashrama-dharma model, a balanced institution of substance welfare, education, moral or dharmic pursuits. Regardless of caste, all beings have the ability to move towards enlightenment by their life actions or karma and progression via cycles of rebirth (samsara). Every member of each caste is written in the Rig Veda to be a manifestation or derivative of the universe symbolized by the embodied human spirit Purusha:
The Brahmin was his mouth,
Of both his arms was the (Kshatriya) made.
His thighs became the Vaishya,
From his feet the Sudhra was produced. (X.90.1-3)"
