Self Realization

                                               Srimad Bhagavatam

In the beginning, as it was the age of Krita that is self realized people, all the inhabitants were called “Hansa”.

In this golden age everyone had attained the knowledge of universal truth.

In that age the only Veda was the word “OM”.

And the only duty was God.

All men were pure and given to divine contemplation.

They took great pleasure in meditating upon god.

In the silver age part of humanity pursued god and the other half pursued duty.

In this age the Brahmin originated from the mouth of the universal form.

The Kshatriya originated from the heart.

The Vaishya from the thighs.

And the Sudra from the feet.

These people were differentiated by their varied temperaments and duties.

The life of monk came from the head of god.

The life of retirement from his chest.

The life of student from his heart.

The family life from his thighs.
