To proceed on this personality plane: Generally speaking, everyone has to be a Brahmin or Brahminii = be the inner Self in harmony with Brahman. [pr�na = forward going energy, from pra + an : to breathe] Everyone has also to be Kshatrin/Kshatrinii = be the outer self in harmony with the (inner) Kshatra or strenght. [ap�na = outflowing energy, from apa + an] Besides these everyone should also be Vishin/Vishinii = balancing the inner and outer energies to make one a true Vish = member of the community. [sam�na = equally distributive energy, from sama + an] Finally everyone has to be Sh�drin/Sh�drinii = upholding and uprising energy to become upright Shugdras (the etymology according to the ancient lexicographers), that is Shug/Shuc = pure + dra= running towards. [ud�na = upholding energy, from ud + an] Last but not least, to complete the Panchajanya or Fivefold scheme preceding the Varnas, one could also concentrate then, finally on the Vy�na = energy that after being in complete balance, leads away from Saguna towards Nirguna. [vy�na, from vi + an] Note These terms are given by me in the literal and unorthodox meaning, fitting into a psychological scheme.
