Dharma and Duty - The Right Action at the Right Time -

Remember the Director of the Play Part 07

 

God's grace is earned even in common tasks, if they

are dedicated to him. Village ladies balance pots of

water on their heads in rural Indian towns. They may

chat with neighbors or watch their children, but

always their mind is on the pot of water balanced

above. We also must perform action in the world while

remaining concentrated on our duty - remembrance of

God.

 

" A little practice will teach you to hold fast to the

feet of God while roaming about in the world, doing

all duties and carrying all responsibilities as

dedicated to him " Baba

 

The results pf our actions are less important than the

manner in which we perform them. We must work to the

best of our ability; the results are decided by God.

It is our duty to perform action dedicated to the

highest ideals, but it is foolish for us to be too

concerned with the results. If we act on good

motivation and follow our hearts, the results will

take care of themselves.

 

" Do all work as actors in a play, keeping your

identity separate and not attached to your personality

or your role. Remember that the whole thing is just a

play and the Lord has assigned you a part. Act well

your part;there all your duty ends. He has designed

the play and he enjoys it " Baba

 

Learning our duty is like the unfolding of a flower.

The flower exists within the bud,but is only seen as

it blossoms. All of us have the fragrance of love in

our hearts, but we must act unselfishly to release

it.Truth and divinity are always present within us; it

is their manifestation that is often lacking in our

lives. So also the avatar incarnates not to

reestablish dharma, but to make it apparent.

 

" It is not dharma which needs to be reestablished, for

dharma is unchanging and indestructible. It is the

practive of dharma for which avatars are born " Baba

very well quoted

" God's grace is earned even in common tasks, if they are dedicated to

him "

 

Dharma is bound up with a great many variety of meanings and does not

mean only duty, which pertains to one individual. Dharma is a body of

principles that are fundamental to social stability and individual

progress. It is eternal, same for everyone, everywhere. The

birthplace of Dharma is the heart. What emanates from the heart as a

pure idea, when translated into action, is Dharma, or to put it in

simple words - " Do unto others as you would have them do unto you " .
