Dharma - Bramandakramah

Dharma is a moral compass, guiding individuals towards righteousness, duty, and ethical conduct.  It is to uphold the universal order

Dharma acts as a guiding principle to navigate moral dilemmas and make ethical decisions. Dharma signifies the concept of righteous conduct, duty, and cosmic order, essentially acting in accordance with what is considered morally right and just. 

The cosmic order is a concept that the universe has an underlying structure and balance governed by natural laws and principles. It is a concept that appears in many philosophical and religious traditions all over the world.

Dharma in Hinduism essentially translates to "the cosmic order," signifying a universal law governing the natural world and human behavior, encompassing ethical duties and moral principles that individuals should follow to maintain harmony within the universe and society.  It is considered as a combination of spiritual discipline and morality guiding one's life path. 

A moral compass can be defined as the guiding principles and values that govern how someone thinks and acts. It has been used for centuries to help people make decisions about how they should live their life. The moral compass can be found in different places such as family values, religion, customs, social norms, cultural beliefs, laws etc., but it's all about finding a personal sense of morality which will help one make better decisions in life.

Morality is what defines whether an action is perceived as good or bad, proper or improper. Morals guide your individual behavior within a society.  Your moral compass is your personal set of beliefs and values regarding right and wrong. Morals aren’t fixed. They may change as you face new experiences in life, gain knowledge, or cope with hardships.  Everyone’s moral compass is unique. Even though many concepts of morality appear to be universally accepted, within those foundational beliefs may be unlimited moral considerations.

A moral compass provides guidance in making ethical decisions, while a conscience serves as an internal alarm system to alert us when we have violated our moral code.

Dharma is all about upholding the natural order and balance within the universe, the cosmic balance, ensuring that everyone plays their part according to their abilities and roles.  Dharma includes ethical principles like truthfulness, non-violence, compassion, and justice.  

The concept of Karma (consequences of actions) is closely linked to Dharma, where one's actions have consequences that impact their future lives.

If we dive deeply into our being, we find that there is a set order or a default program which has been working tirelessly day in and day out to keep our body system working efficiently in all aspects.  Whether it is breathing, assimilation, digestion, circulation, excretion, recreation and overall protection from disease process, our internal system is constantly working to safe guard our body in all aspect. 

Similarly, even outside of us, the whole environment is evolving according to its set program continuously without human or any others influence, interference, or involvement of any sort.  The succession of day and night, all the weather patterns, and all the evolutionary process is ongoing eternally time immemorial before humans or other species started to exist on this earth.

The world is following a order that is cosmic in nature and evolving itself out of its current scenario eternally with no beginning or end of any sort.  The world has always been in present continuous tense throughout its existence.

Understanding the rules of the game of life, The Cosmic Order, will make our life a wonderous, cherishing, and effortless journey of a sort.

To understand the cosmic order on the whole, firstly, we need to realize who we are, why we are, what we are, and what is our role or order in all of this.  Self realization will transform you into an Enlightened Being having got enlightened about every aspect of life and living that is preexisting on this earth.

Spirituality is a path to know our true self and later on the wholeness of everything.
