[QUOTE="Harjas Kaur Khalsa, post: 84589, member: 2125"] Okay let's analyze if this is also true in Gurbani. ([COLOR="Blue"]ਵਰਨਾ[/COLOR]), Vaarana: caste, color. [INDENT][COLOR="Teal"][B]ਵਰਨਾ[/B] ਵਰਨ ਨ ਭਾਵਨੀ ਜੇ ਕਿਸੈ ਵਡਾ ਕਰੇਇ ॥ [B]varanaa[/B] varan n bhaavanee jae kisai vaddaa karaee || One[B] class[/B] of people does not like the other, when one has been made great. ~SGGS Ji p. 53[/COLOR][/INDENT] ([COLOR="Blue"]ਜਾਤਿ ਪਤਿ[/COLOR]), Jaath path: social status, class, honor.
