Dharma – Conscientious Living

THE basic spirit of science is to conquer nature while dharma motivates us to respect it and live in tune with it. Science, even though it says that there can be no effect without a cause does not accept any intelligent cause of the creation. They prefer to say it was all an accident, a big bang that started this whole process. Dharma, on the other hand says that the creation is so orderly, beautiful and purposeful that we cannot in our wildest dreams think that this is all a product of an accident. We are simple-minded people, who on seeing a creation believe in the presence of a creator, and plan out our lives accordingly by keeping him into account, always. We look upon the whole creation as a great, grand orchestra which is already presenting a beautiful music, we have just joined the orchestra and should be sensitive to the harmony and tune ourselves to it. Just as only that person can enjoy the music who becomes sensitive to it, so also only that person can enjoy the holistic living who sees a basic harmony and order around.

When we accept the existence of someone who is an embodiment of knowledge, power, love, compassion and holistic vision, then anyone who loves and reveres such a being will not only be free from various self imposed problems, but will also start being an embodiment of all what God represents. The train is already moving. We unload ourselves and live life fully, without worries. Acceptance of God is the essence of Dharma. This not only helps one become a better person here but also helps one to attain our Artha and Kama in a better way too. Not only this but acceptance of God prepares one for our real goal of life, called Moksha.
