18041 18/41 WERE THE DUTIES OF FOUR CASTES FIXED BY FATE?

CHAPTER 18,
PATH OF LIBERATION AND RENUNCIATION,
VERSE LIB 41

AADHYAAYA 18,
MOOKSHA SANYAASA YOOGA
S`LOOKA: MSY 41

Braahman`a kshatriya vis`aam
s`uudraan`aam ca paramtapa
karmaan`i pravibhaktaani
svabhaava prabhavair gun`ai:

GIST

Oh Scorcher of foes! All the duties and Actions of the Priests, Warriors, Merchants, the Fourth Caste, have all been apportioned and assigned as per the inherent qualities.

BLOGGER'S VIEW
* Why only four castes?
* Why did the God create, apportion and assign? What was his purpose?
* The humans (rulers and priests) made the four caste arrangement. They are trying to make them divine and God-designed.
