Following Dharma

'Dharma' is more ritual than useful guide. I just do my job lawfully and properly and see that I do not unduly harm anyone. God is not relevant to me. As I live in society/ nation, relations with fellow citizens, friends, colleagues are more significant. Dharma or religion is insignificant.

I also request to correct spelling of the word 'Holi'. This is 'holy' and not 'holi'. The mistake could be inadvertent.

I don't read what is written in Geeta or Bible i do what i like. :) Only thing which i ensure is that others may not be hurt by activities and this is what every religion tells us. :)

We are doing many Adharma in the name of Dharma and religion,as we are not aware of actual Dharma.
In all Dharma it is not written to oppose any Dharma and religion or to hurt any body. all are same and valuable gift of God.

Even there are some priest & pujaris who do talk about God in day and do things which they ask people not to do in their speech. :evil:

Here I am reminded of a story. If you preach what you do not practise, your words have no appeal. Once a woman requested a sage to advise her son not to eat 'gur' (a sugar cane product. The sage asked her to come back after fifteen days. A fortnight later, the woman again visited and the sage advised the boy not to eat 'gur'. The boy agreed.

The woman surprisingly asked the sage why he need a fortnight to give such simple advice. The sage told that he wanted this period to get rid of this habit. He could not advise against a habit that he was himself addicted to.

That's right when we are restricted for something we try to do the things for which we are told not to do.This is human nature and we cannot change it. :)

Practically we should follow what our trust allows us to, but most of the times we are predetermined and act as per our own beliefs. Yes we should always follow whatever is good for human being and does not spread hate among us.

Thanks for correcting the mistake.
I want to point out that when you work honestly on anything, it is also dharma. There is no hard and fast rule to pray to God and be religious. It is necessary to believe in humanity. Working lawfully and not harming anyone is also dharma as well as humanity.

Friends fight to protect dharma or "jehad" is the same thing. How many of us truely understand its meaning and follow it. No where in any holy books it is written to kill humans. Yes it is written to kill demons and evils which exists within us, inside our mind. Dharma teaches us to be kind, selfless, calm and helpfull to others.

No where it is written that one should kill people in the name of jehad. :)

People often misunderstands and often don't diferentiate in right and wrong.They do everything for what they think is right even though it may be wrong logically. :evil:

Consider an example of terrorist attacks on KASHMIR they think it to be a jehad and we think this is not jehad this is pure terrorism. :)

Let us see the main slogans of various religions:

Christianity: Do to others as you would be done by
Hindu : Vasudhev kutumkum (world is family)
Jain : Ahinsa parmodharma (non violence is greatest duty)

Thus, essence is not to harm anyone and live peacefully and coexist.

We may follow good neighborly relations, live in peace with all even without bothering about any religion. This is a matter of being a good and practical human being only.

Devyani, I dont know the religious Dharma and all. I just feel what is right and i follow that at that situation. thats it

The basic tenet of any religion is the same - to discover the god in ourselves and how far we engage ourselves in such an exercise that's the question!

Friends all holy religious books contains same concept and ideology regarding God and dharma. How many of you by heart and soul follow them?

When I am to start a task, I just ask myself....."By doing this, will God like it?". By doing this every time, I am able to rectify at least some errors and able to prevent committing some mistakes, at least.

Whenever i do anything, i just ask my mind whether am doing correct or not then i do

Some what similar to what I have quoted :)

Yes, of course, it's the best method to follow dharma

The people who follow dharma, for them everything will be good in their life. But at starting it will difficult but at the end they will be successful

We react dharma without knowing it properly.For this so much discrepancy.
We should know all about it then it helps to built a good character.
