"When every labelyour name, faith, religion, caste, and role—falls away, what remains is your nature.

It is this inner nature (आंतरिक स्वभाव) that truly defines how you relate to yourself and the world."

These are the four natural tendencies found in every living being, including Humans.

Brāhman, Vaishy, Shudr, Kshtriy

Not castes. Not classes.

Varna

means nature, inclination, or what you love to do.

____________________________________

Then what is Jati or Caste?

Jati refers to occupation.

Caste is Lineage.

Who are you?

Not by Lineage, But Nature and Karma
