Guest guest Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord Or, there is another principle. Dharma trains you to be calm, level-headed, secure in equanimity. You know the transitory nature of success or failure, riches or poverty, joy or grief, appointment or disappointment. You are not elated or deflated. You are serene, unmoved. Anything that helps you to maintain this unruffled stability is Dharma. To cut it short: sensual life is adharma; the spiritual life is Dharma. Dharma is that which sustains, saves and sanctifies. Man is born and given a lease of life so that he may earn the knowledge of His identity with the Infinite. There are differences between the limbs of the body, but they all belong to the body. It is foolish of them to imagine that they are unconnected with the body. The Sun sends out a million rays, but they all belong to the Sun. The Sun is reflected in a million pots of water, but though all are tiny images of the Sun, the Sun is the Truth and the reflections are all relatively unreal.
