Ok what if an individual does not give a thought to be classified into any class and just leads a life of a good human being following only Trikarana Suddhi that is Purity in Thought, Word and Deed would that be a problem?
Brilliant question.
Srī Krushna has said (
SrīmadBhagvadgitā 4:13), ‘चातुर्वर्ण्यं मया सृष्ट्यं गुणकर्मविभागश:।’. This means, ‘I have created the four classes (
varna) according to components (
guna) and actions (
karma)’.
I am willing to live by this definition. The birth based division is an aberration and should be shunned and scrapped.
So you can follow your life, depending on the ratio of the three gunas. It applies universally.
