Guest guest Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 HARI AUM Below is a piece from Shree K M Munshi's Krishnavataram, written in biblical simplicity and lucidly that its impact is very powerful. Here Shree Munshi pictures our Bhagavan grappling with the question-What is Dharma? I have just copied and pasted a small part where he vaguely sees What Dharma is. Just read it and feel the change. Regards Balgopal NARAYANA NARAYANA NARAYANA What is Dharma ?? He would like to be VAASUDEVA, That is All, the Great God, if he could, he mused. Then he would find a place in every heart. Then his Dharma would inspire all men in all ages at all times. But what was his Dharma? He laughed to himself. He did not know it even at this critical moment when the fabric of his life was crashing round him. He opened his eyes. He found Rukmini looking at him with anxiety. 'Has your sleep been disturbed?' she asked. 'No. I am only thinking.' 'What are you thinking, lord?' she again asked. 'Vaidarbhi, what do you think your Dharma is?' Rukmini smiled the smile of the happy and devoted wife. 'My Dharma! That is very simple. To live in you so that you can live in my heart.' Krishna pressed her hand and closed his eyes. He dozed off, and in the twilight of a half-sleep, resumed the chain of his broken thoughts. Dharma is not merely a hope. Nor speculation. Nor rituals. Nothing which is inspired by anger, greed or fear.... It is the will to shape oneself, men and situations, by rising above weaknesses. No, that was not enough; Dharma for each one is, to weld the vision, the will and the deed - they are not three but one - so that he may strive, each in his own way, to live in All - VAASUDEVA - so that All may live in him. ________ India Answers: Share what you know.
