The unity that subsumes the diversity has to be understood to grasp the nature of divinity

[Guest guest]

Men regard Dharma (right conduct) as merely ethical conduct in daily life. But this is not so. Dharma really means recognition of the Universal Consciousness that is in each individual and act on the basis of the unity of that Consciousness. When this Consciousness in man is enveloped in the ego, it assumes the form of three gunas or attributes (Satwa, Rajas, Tamas). When the Divine nature of this Consciousness is realized, it is transformed into Atma Dharma - the Dharma of the Self. True Dharma is the realization of the unity of the Omni-Self.
