ekam - update

I would request you to read the post titled 'ekam' before reading this post.

ekam post is completely my own thoughts written down. The same subject which is written there is actually preached long back by the saint monk Vivekananda. I was astonished on reading it (for the first time).

It is;

The caste system is opposed to Vedanta. Caste is a social custom, and all our great preachers have tried to break it down. Every sect has preached against caste, and every time it has only riveted the chains. Caste is simply the outgrowth of the political institutions of India; it is a hereditary trade guild. Trade competition with Europe has broken caste more than any teaching.

Thanks to my friend KK for sending it across to me.
