PYS 142 How do you experience life
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam
Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam
In Vedic tradition the community is clearly defined - if all your experience, most of your experiences are face, in the intellect you are closer to satva; easy for you to have enlightenment.
If all your experiences are based on the heart – vaishya; please understand, even when you are doing business, while you are giving something, even if you are going to take something from them, when you are giving, the heart vibrates with certain experience. So vaishya is supposed to be constantly giving - broad heart. Vaishya will be successful if he can give more than what he receives or if he makes others believe he is giving more than what he is receiving.
Next all experiences based on stomach – Kshatriya. Kshatriya needs to have a strong stomach because he has to continuously stomach so many experiences. He need to have a strong guts. Continuously he needs to be stomaching different, different, different experiences. Kshatriya who is based on stomach.
And the fellow whose strongest experience in his life is only between thighs, he is the shudra - nothing can be done. The word shudra should be understood very clearly in Vedic tradition. It is not because you are born to somebody, NO! Your birth does not decide your community. Your mental setup and attitude decides community.
