Kabir and Vemana do not argue for equality merely as social reform. Their equality is metaphysical. They insist: The Divine is one. The Self is one. Therefore humanity is one. Caste is a denial of spiritual truth. Kabir: The One Light in All Kabir repeatedly says: God is not confined to temples or Brahmins. He lives in: • the weaver • the farmer • the poor • the outcaste • everyone Vemana: The Same Atma Everywhere Vemana’s Vedantic core: If the Atma is universal… How can caste divide?
