As demonstrated in the Hindu teachings of the spiritual nature of the caste system
“homo religiosus” does evolve. This topic incorporates many different aspects of
Hinduism. “Mans greatness is not in what he is, but in what he makes possible.”
(Aurobindo300). Throughout this paper, man’s atman and it’s quest for Nirvana will be
explored. As well as man’s journey through reincarnation, his need to evolve, and his
desire to reconnect to his inner self.
When life is aware of itself the journey has truly begun. Like a pot of boiling water a
man’s lives are always turning. Their souls embark on a journey, just as the bubbles set
out towards the surface. This surface is known as Nirv
. . .
brings man closer to the inner self. However,
these to will not sustain permanent happiness, for they are very finite.
As the bubble burst forth into the air, they are truly set free. Hindu’s spend
several lives trying to attain Moksha and later Nirvana. Finally, after many life experiences man will reach the fourth level of desire. At first,
he will seek wealth and material possessions, but eventually yearn for more. The same is true for the
atman when it breaks free from the jiva. Hindu’s endure great hardships to attain this
reconnection to the inner self. This perpetual bliss is known as
Nirvana. This awareness is truly
infinite and for the first time he is brought close to his ultimate goal, Nirvana. Every human
body truly becomes the instrument, for the body is known as jiva. Eventually, as man is
reincarnated he endures the four levels of desire, which ultimately lead to Moksha. He is allowed to reconnect to the source and break the
caste.
Moksha is desired by all Hindu’s because this release will bring them to Nirvana.
