Yada Yada hi dharmasya

Yada Yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata

abhyuthmanam adharmasya tadatmanam srjamy aham

(Gita, chapter 4, Verse 7)

 

Literary Translation: Whenever righteousness falls and

unrighteousness grows the Almighty reveals His

presence! The Supreme though unborn and undying,

becomes manifest in human form to overthrow the forces

of ignorance and selfishness.

 

The above verse explains how the invisible force of

nature makes necessary adjustments to keep stability

and balance by acting through the elements of nature.

Every action, reaction and inaction that we

experience around us represents His manifestation to

maintain Nature's equilibrium. With His wisdom, we can

see His manifestation through me you, they, here,

there, then, now and for ever! The above verse also

illustrates the well known scientific principle of

feed-back mechanism: Let me give a simple example to

illustrate this point. In the Nature, the number of

snakes and number of rats will be always in balance

and this is the Dharma of Nature. If the population of

rats increase without bound (presence of Adharma) the

snakes will get plenty of food which increases its

population and consequently the growth of rats

population will be down. The fall in rats population

slowly reduces the population of snakes and at the

end, Dharma is reestablished! This simple model can be

expanded to include all species of the nature to

explain the same phenomenon.
