Dharma is the eternal truth – it has always existed, and will always exist.
Dharma exists in the biggest of things in this universe, as much as it exists in the smallest of atoms in this universe.
It is dharma that makes all the planets, and stars, and galaxies, follow a fixed path across this universe.
It is dharma that makes the sun revolve around the milky way, the earth revolve around the sun, and the moon revolve around the earth.
Dharma is everything, and everything is dharma, and dharma exists even in nothing.
It is dharma that makes the sun rise every day. It is dharma that makes the sun set every day.
It is dharma that makes a tiny seed grow into a giant tree. It is dharma that makes the giant tree fall and be born again as a seed.
It is dharma that makes the universe run the way it does. It is dharma that makes the universe stop from running when the time comes.
Dharma can be eternal and permanent. Dharma can be spontaneous and temporary.
With dharma, you can become everything. Without dharma, you are nothing.
Dharma is the way. Dharma is the energy that makes you walk the way. Dharma is the end goal of all beings, and of each and every element in this universe.
It is dharma that makes you a Great Being if you understand it fully, and you can also become the most Evil Being if you don’t understand it.
Where dharma exists, there can be no evil, no selfishness, no treachery, no jealousy, no idleness, no anger, no ignorance, no illusions, no guilt, no suffering.
If you follow dharma, there can only be good, kindness, compassion, trust, appreciation, gratefulness for everything in life, doing ones life’s work, calm and peace, knowledge, reality, truth, satisfaction, happiness, enlightenment, freedom from all kinds of suffering.
If you don’t know your dharma, it doesn’t matter what else you know, as everything you do will be useless.
And if you know your dharma, you know everything that you need to know to be useful.
Dharma is the master. Dharma is the voice of God. Dharma is the truth of existence. Dharma is the only truth worth seeking.
You and I were born ignorant. It is dharma that can enlighten us. It is dharma that can show us the way. It is dharma that will evolve us on our way into a Higher Being, if we remain faithful to it.
It is the understanding of dharma that made all those people great who understood it, and who existed before you and me. And it was a total lack of understanding of dharma that made the most evil men who ever existed.
Dharma is God. Dharma is the highest form of consciousness. Dharma is the ultimate. Dharma is Parmatma himself.
If you follow dharma, then God is always with you to help you, to support you, to show you the way. But it is we who don’t follow the dharma, who do whatever the hell comes to our mind, and then we blame God for not helping us.
First, try to walk the path of dharma, try to understand what it is, try to see where it exists and where it doesn’t, try to see doing what brings you closer to it and doing what takes you away from it.
Dharma is the way, dharma is the lamp that shows the way, dharma is the path ahead, dharma is what lies at the end. All we have to do is keep walking the path of dharma, and allow it to be our guide and our teacher.
Once you make dharma your teacher, you don’t need any other teacher. And if you don’t do what’s your dharma to do, then no teacher or guru can help you in this world.
Dharma is the understanding of your most basic duties in life. And it is the understanding of your highest goal in life.
It is dharma that leads to enlightenment, towards freedom from all bondages. And it’s the lack of understanding of dharma that leads to more and more bondages.
It is dharma that makes you rise higher. It is the lack of dharma that makes you fall lower.
Dharma is what all the Great Beings tell you it is. And dharma is what the depths of your soul tell you it is.
Dharma is beyond your body, mind, and senses, because it has existed before them and it will continue to exist after them.
The dharma shouldn’t be defined and limited to your identification with your body and mind. Rather, it’s your body and mind that should be defined and expanded to get in sync with dharma.
It is dharma that makes you compassionate even to the smallest of beings, and it is the lack of knowing it that makes you hurt even the highest of beings.
Dharma is Buddha. Dharma is Ram. Dharma is Krishna.
Dharma is Brahma. Dharma is Vishnu. Dharma is Maheshwar.
Dharma is the creator. Dharma is the maintainer. Dharma is the destroyer.
And it is dharma that yet again creates what was earlier destroyed, and again destroys what was once created.
The cycle of dharma is never ending. It is timeless, boundless, limitless, formless, desireless, infinite, and one.
Dharma is every God that you know of, and it is beyond every God that you know of.
Every God, every incarnation of God, every messenger of God, has taught us the same dharma. It is we who have created divisions between them.
It is we who think one dharma is different from another dharma.
The dharma is always one and the same. It is only we who think it is different.
The problem is we don’t try to understand the dharma the way all these Great Beings taught us. Instead we try to form our own opinions of dharma, we create different cults of dharma and keep arguing and fighting with each other all the time over it.
Instead of debating over whose dharma is better, why can’t we try to understand only about dharma.
The same dharma has been taught by countless Great Beings, since time immemorial, and yet we, out of our illusion, think that dharma came into existence only when such and such Being was born, or when such and such Being taught it first.
The dharma taught by Buddha is the same as the one taught by Ram, which is the same as taught by Krishna, which is the same as taught by Shiva, and which is the same as taught by countless sages of Bharat – or India as we know it now.
But this dharma wasn’t taught only to benefit one person, or a certain group of people. Every Enlightened Being taught this dharma for the benefit of all humanity, for all beings, and for the benefit of this universe itself.
So let us strive to understand what this dharma is, and let us think and reflect upon it each and every day, until we finally find and discover it for ourself, and after which we need no guide or guru to show us the way. Because then, dharma itself will show us the way.
May dharma guide you towards a more purposeful life with each day. May dharma dispel all the darkness around you and shine the light of self-knowledge within you.
May dharma show the way to all humanity and make this whole world, and every being in it, happy, peaceful, and enlightened.
