...Further the Vedas are certainly fallible since they contain imperfect knowledge as evident in Purusha sukta. And divinity certainly cannot be said to possess imperfect knowledge. So the Rig Veda along with Purusha sukta has to be a handiwork of mortal men; it is totally artificial and there is nothing divine about along with other three Vedas. And certainly there is no reason to believe the fantasy of Purusha sukta. The imagination of Rig Vedic people was fertile but it was that only - fertile.
The concept of Bruhm is also imaginary, as nobody has come forward in thousands of years to show any evidence about it. Of course the truth depends on permanency. If the Bruhm exists then the proofs for its existence must exist. Simply the biggest entity cannot hide itself. The existence of Bruhm is axiomatic with unsearchable proofs that are supposed to exist. The theory of Karma is also without any substance. No propagator of this theory has been able to produce any evidences in favor of rebirth with any reliable statistics; barring some delusional people who claim to have taken rebirth. Exactly linking the specified rewards of this birth with the specified and confirmed deeds of last birth for a correctly identified soul has also not taken place. The speculative and deemed final results are axiomatic so one has to believe in the existence of evidences or proofs that nobody has been able to establish for thousands of years. They might not be verifiable. All the proofs are missing for thousands of years. One has to take the words of Vedas, Rishis and spiritualists as proofs for the existence of anything they say. However, this fertile piece of imagination of shifting of rewards to next life is a reality of Hindu psyche and has played havoc with the lives of uncountable people all through the Indian history. Actually this is a separation of rewards being reaped by higher Varnas from their actions in this life.
A Brahman is a man who can endlessly argue about the existence of non-existence (Bruhm) and the non-existence of existence (the world) and unification of soul with Bruhm and also about Karma theory. And through such evolved process he acquires spiritual knowledge sitting at the feet of his gurus. The greatest achievement here is the unification of non-existent (soul) with the non-existent (Bruhm). Second is the holding the victims responsible for their oppression through Karma theory. This spiritual development strengthens their social base where everybody acknowledges his superior and divine knowledge about the world and divinity. More was his spiritual authority more was his control over the society and its resources...

Spirituality - 8
The Hindus regard the modern civilization as Western civilization with its roots in materialism. The materialism with its pursuit of maximum profit is regarded as dehumanizing in which the fellow human beings are seen as instruments of furthering one’s own material interests. Spiritualism is supposed to be superior to materialism with its emphasis on spiritual side and inherent absence exploitation. Hindu society with its spiritual development is supposed to be superior to dehumanizing materialism of West. Actually many defenders of Varna dharma regard the West and its modern ideas of equality and liberty as a contaminating source which have actually polluted this grand, ancient, sacred, pure, pious, innocent, spiritual, and divinely ordained civilization. However even the modern Western ideas were unable to reign in the vicious animals of Varna dharma and untouchability.
However the Hindu society is supposed to be highly spiritual and non-exploitative. The Hindu thinkers say that amassing so much wealth is not good for society. It also alienates a man from God. Actually finding God should be his true goal. A materialist man deviates from his true path. In addition such man is also exploitative or indulges in anti-human practices; you see it is all adharmic.
Maximization of profit leads to neglect of spiritual side and values. In maximization of profits a man forgets his fellow human beings and maximizes the profit at others’ cost. Actually Hindu society is far ahead; it permanently neglects human beings. The higher Varnas maximize their gains at the cost of Shudras and untouchables who form the majority. The cruel, inhuman and permanent exploitation of Shudras and untouchables is a standing feature Hindu society. They do it eternally on eternal basis. Anything below permanent exploitation is below their dignity. They have a mixed standing army of forever servants on heredity basis. Since these servants come on the basis of heredity; the Hindu society never runs short of manual and still lower level servants. The more will come from where they came from. It simply takes a group of families of a servant jati to perpetuate itself to serve the dharma and higher Varnas without really getting anything in return.
In Rig Veda it is said that “Ekam Sat Vipra Bahuda Vadanti”. It means that there is only one truth (God) or Sat but wise men call him by different names. Or there is only one Absolute called by many names by knowledgeable men. However the same Absolute created a born servanthood in India and the same Absolute created brotherhood in West. These two Absolutes cannot be the same since a man created in West is essentially the same as created in East. This difference implies either a difference in men or a difference in Gods. According to scriptures of Hindu society the Varnas were created by the God with their inherent functions, which translates into inherent inequalities. Thus there have to be two Gods. If there is only one God then the differences in Varna dharma are created by man. Thus Hindu dharma has no divine origin and it is totally artificial creation of its lawmakers with scant regard to any kind of God. The God is falsely invoked to justify the Varna dharma. However, if the religion in West is artificial and the true religion of the world is Vedic dharma then the God is fascist. It is a difficult choice; take your pick or make and/or create another choice. An atheist would like to ignore the issue altogether. The Rig Vedic statement about only one God is more like a pretension to better understanding of the concept of God or a compromise between different sects. The exact nature of God is not told, neither the exact way of functioning of God. It was simply because the Rig Vedic people themselves did not know it.
