Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Thus Spake The Lord Dharma and Jnaana (right conduct and spiritual wisdom) are two eyes given to man to discover his uniqueness and his divinity. Dharma indicates the right path which every individual, group or society should follow. Dharma destroys the one who violates it. Dharma also protects the one who protects it. The scriptures have declared, "Where there is Dharma there is Victory." There is no Dharma greater than Truth. Nyaaya (justice) is an essential attribute of Dharma. A society or nation or an individual shines with glory only when they adhere to justice. Just as one acquires wealth by the pursuit of agriculture, business or profession, one must acquire merit and Divine Grace by adhering to neethi (morality) and Dharma. However, Dharma alone is not enough. While Dharma leads to right action, it is necessary also to acquire Jnaana. True knowledge consists in understanding the unity that underlies the Cosmos. All the sufferings and problems in life arise from the sense of duality. Once the feeling of 'I' and 'mine' is got rid of, consciousness of the all-pervading Divinity will be realized.
