Dharma - The Right Action at Right Time - What is it? Part 01/07

[Guest guest]

In Hindu tradition, dharma is generally interpreted as spiritual

duty. Bur dharma is more than that my dear Brothers & Sisters;

it is a sense of religious obligation that combines concepts of both

duty and reason. There is no equivalent English word as far as I am

concerned. Dharma entails responsibility to self, others, and God.

It is not a set of restrictive laws; it is the liberating concept of

doing the right thing at the right time. It is based on a reasoned

course of action performed out of wise love. Dharma requires

introspection and self discipline based on the knowledge of inner

divinity. It results in a joyful and contented life.

 

" The word dharma does not mean duty; in duty there is no freedom. In

reason there is freedom, and in religious obligation there is the

union between duty and reason. Dharma, then, refers to religious

obligation, and in that word are the concepts of both duty and

reason " Baba
