the divine law says that those who live in ignorance easily become mental - like inventing a caste system.
Only sick minds invents and accepts such.

Caste system is a social order based on Profession--It is not Religious system--Example;-Kulal=Potter--Karmar=blacksmith---Punjishta,Nishada,Svapathi=different kinds of Hunters,hunting birds,terrestrial animals ,sea animals etc.Man made(codified by a King called Manu)
Dharma =divine law has nothing to do with Caste system---it is code of conduct towards one own self, family, relatives,friends,community,country ,world ,Universe etc.God revealed in religious texts.
P.s:- Karmar=Blacksmith,Svapathi,punjista, nishadha=hunters --are missing inthe message

1st - The caste system as practiced in India is not Vedic, since both the Rg Veda and the Mahabharata say caste is merit based, not birth based.
2nd- Caste is thus defined by what one is suited to do (dharma).
