Lyrics Agrarian Society - Akira the Don , Alan Watts
The
Hindu
Divide
life
into
certain
stages
What
are
called
the
Ashamas
The
first
is
called
Brahmacarya
The
second
Grehasta
And
the
third
Vanaprastha
Brahmacarya
Means
the
stage
of
the
student,
the
apprenticeship
Grehasta
the
stage
of
the
householder
And
Vanaprastha
The
stage
of
the
forest
dweller
This
is
related
To
the
cultural
history
of
early
India
Before
we
have
agrarian
communities
We
have
a
hunting
culture
Which
is
on
the
move
In
a
hunting
culture
Every
male
Knows
the
whole
culture
There
is
no
division
of
labor
And
the
holy
man
of
the
hunting
culture
Is
of
course
called
a
Shaman
A
Shaman
Is
a
A
realized
man
A
man
who
knows
the
inner
secret
He's
seen
through
the
gate
And
he
finds
it
by
going
away
alone
into
the
forest
And
cutting
himself
off
From
the
tribe
That
is
to
say
from
social
conditioning
And
he
goes
maybe
for
a
long
period
into
the
forest
And
comes
back
He's
found
out
who
he
is
And
he
sure
as
who
he
was
told
he
was
But
as
hunting
cultures
settled
into
agrarian
patterns
of
life
What
do
they
do?
They
build
a
village
And
around
the
village
they
set
up
a
stockade
Which
is
known
as
the
Pale
And
the
village
is
always
of
course
standing
at
crossroads
And
there
you
get
in
an
agrarian
society
a
division
of
labor
And
the
division
of
labor
comprises
four
In
Medieval
Europe
we
call
them
Lord
spiritual
Lords
temporal
Commons
And
Serves
In
India
they
are
Brahmins
Chatria
That
means
fighter
Vaicher
Merchants
Traders
Chutara
Labour's
So,
you've
got
the
priests
The
warriors
The
merchants
And
the
laborers
Division
of
labor
The
four
Sections
of
town
So,
the
four
basic
castes
So,
when
you
are
born
you
are
born
into
a
caste
And
your
duty
as
a
Grehasta
or
householder
Is
to
fulfill
your
caste
function
And
to
bring
up
a
family
When
you've
done
that
You
go
back
to
the
forest
Back
to
the
hunting
culture
And
you
drop
your
role
And
you
become
nobody
A
shaman
again
So
a
Hindu
calls
one
who
does
this
Ashramana
which
is
of
course
the
same
word
as
Shaman
And
the
Chinese
called
him
a
Shia
A
Shaman
is
an
immortal
Why
immortal?
Because
it's
only
the
role
that's
mortal
The
big
front
The
persona
The
one
who
you
really
are
The
common
man
that
is
to
say
the
man
who
is
common
to
us
all
Which
you
could
call
the
son
of
man
That's
the
real
self
That's
the
guy
who's
putting
on
the
big
act
And
of
course,
he
has
no
name
Nobody
can
put
a
finger
on
him
Because
You
can't
touch
the
tip
of
the
finger
with
the
tip
of
the
finger
