"The Varna system is not the cause of all this confusion and unrest. The fault lies more in the haphazard manner in which it has developed. It became a plaything in the hands of all types of people; so it lost its original symmetry and harmony. The system is essential, not merely for Bharath, but even for the world. In countries outside India this system is not absent. The name may be different; the working is the same. There also are four classes - the Sikshaka Varga, the Rakshaka Varga, the Vanig Varga and the Sramika Varga. But in Bharath, the Varnas are decided by birth; in other parts of the world, they are decided by Karma, the work each is engaged in. That is the distinction."

"Now among the Brahmins who have been honoured by being established in the very first cadre, many can be found who have left off the path and strayed into mean ways. So too, in the fourth Varna, the Sudras, many can be found who are moved by holy ideals, high spiritual aspirations, and who are striving to attain purity of mind as a means of realisation. Just because these things are possible, it is not proper to conclude that the Varna organisation of human society is useless."
