Dear Balaji Swamin
Varnam is best described by karma or action. Only by action one becomes a Bramhmana, Kshatriya, Vaishya or the fourth category. Hence to become a brahmana one has to completely adhere to sastras and lead life as such. Very few people are like that in today’s world. Best is to be a prapanna where no qualification is required for moksha, only thing required is mumukshatva and acharyan’s grace. Please forgive adiyen for any apacharams in replying to this post.
