Wikipedia: Purpose of the Varna System
Under the Varna system society was differentiated into 4 different varnas. People were accorded different varnas as per their occupation and capabilities. The classification accorded on the basis of these parameters helped in better classification of the society. The duties have been classified under the act which leads to the proper performance of one’s assigned duties.
This leads to harmony in society as one's duties are known properly and prevent disharmony and chaos. This helps in dissolving the conflicts. This would eventually lead to perpetual peace, liberty and freedom, and shared prosperity. Performance of one's applications was presumed as an underlying reason for the attainment of moksha. Apart from ensuring harmony in society, it helps in maintaining purity among each varna.
