ABSTRACT

Man’s kinship with nature is coupled with his identity with his fellow man. The immanence of God in creation means that there can be no withdrawal from the world or from the needs of our fellow men. Social justice is the inevitable consequence of divine immanence and nothing can be deemed untouchable in a world suffused by the spirit of God. This means that the rigidity and exclusivism of the caste system must go since it militates against both individual freedom and social justice and is contrary to cultivation of spirituality.
