The Caste System in
India
... and
Jesus
Reincarnation and the Caste System
The infamous "caste system" is the result of the reincarnation and karma doctrines. The 4 castes eventually developed into a social mosaic of 3,000 sub-castes with the Untouchables at the bottom of the list, as virtually inhuman, good only to clean dirt and excrement... and without any hope of redemption or betterment because their miserable destiny has been predetermined by a former existence.
And the priestly Brahmin class, the highest one, sees no need to extend acts of kindness to the less fortunate; because to do so would interfere with the karma of those beneath them and bring disrespect upon the privileges of their class, a status which they deserve because of their conduct in previous reincarnations. To do good to one of the lower classes, according to reincarnation, would only interfere with the divine cosmic law of karmic punishment.
If you are born an Untouchable, no other class will even "touch" you; if you are born a shoemaker in India you will die as a shoemaker, no other class will accept you, no hope of improving your life... it is the greatest prejudice and discrimination system of a nation...
The 4 Casta System" are:
1- The "Brahmins": The
priestly class, born from the mouth of Brahman, with "varna" color white.
("varna" is the "occupational class".
2- The "Kshatriyas": Warriors
and rulers, senators, presidents, majors, born from the chest of Brahman. Varna color red.
3- The "Vaisyas": Farmers,
merchants, lawyers, doctors. Born from the thighs. Varna yellow.
4- The "Sudras":
Unskilled workers. Born from the feet of Brahman. Varna color black.
5- Other sub-castes:
Then, they have been reported up to 3,000 sub-castes, with the "Untouchables" at
the bottom. They have no Varna color... do they not descend from Brahman?.
Salvation is possible only for the top three castes, who are called the "twice born." Actually, outside the caste system are the untouchables or outcastes.
The Caste System was born and maintained by the Brahmins, the priestly class... they are the ones to get more advantage from it!
Buddha and the founder of Jainism condemned the caste system; Gandhi in 1949 persuaded the Indian Parliament to outlaw Untouchability in the Constitution... but it still remains a hallowed tradition in the villages where most Indians live.
And the caste system will stay as far as the doctrines of reincarnation and karma are practiced... it is the only way to live them!...
The best hope to get rid of the caste system is Christianity, to accept Jesus in your heart, and to live the glorious adventure of brotherhood in Christ, helping the needy and the oppressed... Mother Theresa of Calcutta and many other Christian missionaries are doing the best to end with the caste system, loving and cleaning and feeding the Untouchables... Christianity was the solution for the slavery in the Roman Empire and for the blacks in America and much of Africa... and I believe Christianity is the best solution to end the caste system and the chronic poverty in India... Mother Theresa and the Christian missionaries are on the right tract.
The essence of Christianity:
It is not "to know" about Christ but "to be" another Christ, with Christ in the Christian and the Christian in Christ, in his Mystical Body, in his church... and Christ is God, the Absolute, the real Brahman who became a real human person, not just a hero of an imaginary novel.
The Work of Jesus on earth:
1- The Cross: Jesus on the Cross redeemed us, He paid for all our sins for all our bad karma, we just have to appropriate this free payment by believing in Jesus Christ and doing what He asks, mainly to be baptized in His church.
2- The Resurrection: But the Cross was not the
end... After His Resurrection Jesus Himself wants to live in us,
here, on earth. We were saved from sin to live on earth with the love and
joy and peace of Jesus in us, I no longer live, but Christ lives in me
(Gal.2:20). A love and joy and peace that nothing and nobody can take away
(Rom.8:37-39).
Give thanks with joy to God always and in any circumstance as proclaimed
in Eph.5:20 and emphasized in the Preface of every Holy Mass, Indeed it
is "just" and "necessary", our "duty" and our "salvation" to give thanks to
God always and in all circumstances. There are no more words in the
dictionary to emphasize it!
The life of a Christian on earth is a
A Wedding Feast!
, as proclaimed
in at least 20 quotations in the Bible. In this Wedding Feast each one of us
is invited, and not just as any guest, but as the "Bride of the Lamb". This
is the message of the Cana wedding feast in John 2, the first miracle of
Jesus.
With problems like in Cana, but always with the joy and love and
excitement of a bride in her wedding feast. In success or failure, good or
bad health, always with the joy and love and peace of Jesus in me that
nobody and nothing can take away.
3- The Ascension: Still more: The work of Jesus on earth did not
end with the Cross nor with the Resurrection, but with His Ascension to
Heaven: He wants us to go to eternal Heaven, like Him!... Christianity
is the religion of joy on earth, but still more, in Heaven for one eternity,
without the need for any reincarnation, because Jesus paid for absolutely
all or sins, all our bad karma.
Suffering?
Yes, many problems and sufferings, but with the joy and excitement
of a "mother in labor" Jesus tells us in Jn.16:21. Because
Each suffering is to bring up a new life, either in us or in others:
1- In us... because each suffering is like an injection of God to
purify us, as proclaimed in Hebrews 12.
2- In others... like the sufferings of redemption of Christ or Mary,
of Peter or Paul... Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and
in my flesh I do my share on behalf of His body, which is the church, in
filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions. (Colos.1:24)...
yes, with my cross I am a co-redeemer with Christ, it is my best
evangelization, to help others to go to Heaven. An old sick woman is not a
burden, but the best treasure of home.
"Suffering" is a great revolution of Jesus in the two mountains:
1- In the Mount of the Beatitudes, proclaiming the "poor happy", the
"hunger happy", those who "mourn happy", the "persecuted happy"...
2- At Calvary it was not with words, but with deeds, with his flesh...
the greatest success of humankind!...
IT CAN BE DONE... CHRIST AND I, ABSOLUTE MAJORITY!, I can do
everything through him who gives me strength. (Phil.4:13).
Come to the Cross of Jesus Christ:
Believe
in Jesus Christ, and trust Him... if you have faith in Jesus Christ all your bad deeds,
all your bad karma will be
totally erased , right now!... you don't need any more reincarnations...because Jesus paid for them in his Cross... it is as if you
owe one million dollars and some millionaire pay them for you... now you owe nothing...
really nothing!... there is "power" in Jesus... infinite "power" to
erase all bad deeds of 20,000 lifetimes... because he is God!.
... and if your gods do not have this power, your religion is a religion
"without power".
What Hinduism needs is an agent from God, who comes to earth and pays for all our bad
actions and makes us free and holy... and you already have it!... Jesus is not only an
agent of God, he is God himself, the only one "Brahman", the only one "Bhagvan",
the only one "Ishvara", who incarnated in the womb of Virgin Mary, became flesh,
and died in a Cross with love, to pay for all our bad deeds, for all our bad karma, to
make us free of sin, and to give us a new glorious life on Earth and eternally in Heaven
without any reincarnation.
Lord Jesus, I believe in you, that you are the only one real God incarnated as a real human person to pay for all my sins, for all my bad karma, at the Cross... and I will be baptized in your church as soon as possible. Thank you, my Jesus, I adore you , my God and Savior.
