Right Conduct
Dharma is its concern for
the well being of humanity as a whole. This concern stems from the
consciousness that all are children of one mother.
The word Dharma is derived from the root, Dhr, meaning 'wear;' Dharma
is that which is worn.
Dharmaraja said 'Whoever protects Dharma will in turn be protected by
Dharma.' So, I bless you. Victory shall be yours because of your
observing dharmic rules in so meticulous a manner.
Dharma is the foundation for the welfare of humanity; it is the truth
that is stable for all time.
The man who does not follow Dharma is a burden on the earth. All the
wealth he may accumulate will not accompany him when he leaves the
world. It is more important to earn the grace of God than earn all the
wealth in the world. Develop the love of God and realise the bliss
that is beyond all worlds.
Some rules of Dharma have been laid down for ensuring that the wealth
that is earned from society is devoted to the benefit of society. In
the process of acquiring wealth one may be guilty of some lapses. It
is to make amends for such lapses that one must practice charity.
In all worldly activities, you should be careful not to wound
propriety, or the canons of good nature; you should not play false to
the promptings of the Inner Voice. You should be prepared at all times
to respect the appropriate dictates of conscience; you should watch
your steps to see whether you are in someone else's way; you must be
ever vigilant to discover the Truth behind all this scintillating
variety. That is the entire Duty of Man, your Dharma.
The ideal of Dharma should inspire students to participate in social
service activities. They should become the harbingers of the
renaissance of Dharma in the modern world.
There is not one Dharma for Indians and another for westerners. Dharma
is universal. Yes. There is a test that may be applied to any action
and you may thereby determine if it is according to Dharma. Let not
that which you do, harm or injure another. This flows from the
recognition that the light, which is God, is the same in every form
and if you injure another you are injuring that same light that is
yourself.
- Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba |
