Somewhere I read that four parts of the body( head,chest etc) represents brahmana,kshetriya,vaisya,shudra.According to this the legs(feet) represents shudra.Normally we are taught “padaseva”or touching the feet for blessings. I have been advised during my childhood to respect everybody but specially brahmanas .As the feet of brahmanas are also represents shudra according to the above. I feel shudras have the same status as brahmanas. But our society do not feel this.is it correct? What is the principle behind Padaseva?. HariOm

HariOm!
We worship the Lotus Feet of the Lord; we do not say the head of the Lord!
It is symbolic that we are surrendering before HIM!
Padaseva implies humble Pranams.
Varnashrams refer to the different states of mind as I have explained in previous answers.
