“Passing beyond the first stage in Brahma’s plan, man strives for enlightenment and enters the natural Kshatriya (warrior) caste.
He is propelled (by evolutionary forces) to struggle (for truth). He seeks a guru and appreciates his divine counsel. Thus a Kshatriya becomes fit to dwell in the worlds of higher understanding. This Kshatriya state of man is called Sandhisthala, the place between higher and lower.

In this state men, becoming anxious for real knowledge, need help of one another;
hence mutual love, the principal necessity for gaining salvation, appears in the heart.

Motivated by the energetic tendency of this love, man affectionately keeps company with those who destroy troubles, clear doubts, and afford peace to him, and hence avoids whatever produces the contrary result; he also studies scientifically the scriptures of divine personages.”
The Holy Science Swami Sri Yukteswar 1894
