. . . the truth behind it [chaturvarna]
exists and is one of some considerable
importance in the perfection of our power
of nature; but we have to take it in its
inner aspects, first, personality,
character, temperament, soul-type, then
the soul-force which lies behind them and
wears these forms, and lastly the play of
the free spiritual Shakti in which they
find their culmination and unity beyond
all modes. For the crude external idea that
a man is born as a Brahmana, Kshatriya,
Vaishya or Shudra and that alone, is not a
psychological truth of our being.
Sri Aurobindo, CWSA, 24: 742
