Would our educational system anywhere in the world pass any student while he or she is continuously failing and give the responsibility of becoming a teacher or doctor or engineer or something else not suited to him?

Would you like to go to doctor who has secured his admissions based on caste reservations only and not on the merits of his studies?

Would you like your children be tutored by any less qualified individual?  

Would you like to assign the software needs of your company to any firm or person lacking the skills?

Definitely no, never. Yes this is the point. We seek services not only from the particular class but from the one that is more competent and skilled in one?s filed.

What are these? These are the social classes ? based on character, behavior and studies and practical training ? advocated and propounded by Vedic wisdom and Ayurveda. These are relevant and practical as they ever had been.

The distortion in the system

Many people later distorted this system basing it in the family i.e. anyone taking birth form a learned couple would be a person of that class. It has nothing to do with the character or behavior of that person. Pure nonsensical. It led to the deterioration not only of this scientific social order but also of the essential beauty and inherent assertion of free will and free choice of human being. As this distorted view was impractical for everyone ? it disappeared from the scene sooner or later, as the society matured and developed.

Welcoming the new scientific era

We are into a wonderful era of transformation when our beliefs are challenged on the scale of scientific studies and practice. We, as a society are adopting whatever is having universal and scientific appeal ? be it Yoga or Ayurveda or Spirituality.

This universal appeal is not monotonous. We can enjoy the differences and still be in the purview of that integrated social and scientific and religious and spiritual oneness. Very simple ? You can enjoy South Indian or North Indian or Chinese or American food and can still be healthy as the little differences are only superficial. The basic nutrients are all there. We can enjoy Divine Abundance.

As there is great convergence of all the good tools and researches and practices throughout the world, we are again realizing the great saying of ancient Vedic seers ? ?The earth is merely a grand family?.
