Dharma and Dharmikta

Living a life of destiny ...
by Shanti Clements


The word Dharma comes from Sanskrit, which is the oldest language in the world and originated in ancient India. Western linguists confirm that Sanskrit is the root of virtually all known languages.

Dharma comes from the word dhar, which means to "support, uphold, and nourish Dharma" and is the understanding of using appropriate action for any given circumstance. It means "to act in accordance with one's duty".

According to Chin-Ning Chu, each person will have different Dharma depending on their situation in life. For example, a physician's Dharma is to save lives. A teacher's Dharma is to educate others. Eastern spiritual teachers believe that if Dharma is followed, the world will be in harmony with the natural law.

Dharma is the natural law that guides us to recognise at any moment the role that each one of us is playing in life. This short video by Gurumaa defines the difference between Dharma and Dharmikta ...



People who practice Dharma accept life as it comes and perform their duty accordingly. Being true to the duty of that particular role at any given time ... and the very act of accepting and performing that action to the best of our ability ... that is following Dharma. By connecting with your Dharma and Dharmikta, living a life with love, joy and happiness in your heart and soul will help others and bring peace and harmony into the world.

As this ancient Chinese proverb expresses:

If there is light in the soul,

there will be beauty in the person.
If there is beauty in the person,
there will be harmony in the house.
If there is harmony in the house,
there will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation,
there will be peace in the world.
