The unreal never exists
and
the real is never without existence at any time.
God alone is real, permanent, indestructible,
changeless, and eternal,
but he is beyond thought, imperceptible,
and
quite above the fluttering of mind.

Action is the,name of the mode
by which a man attains to God after subduing his mind.
Putting this mode into practice
is
Dharm,
which is a trust or obligation.

This
“Dharm”
is
only one for entire mankind.

Bhagavad Gita sings:

“Since selfless action neither wears out the seed
from which it sprang nor has any adverse consequence,
even a partial observance of it liberates one
from the dire terror of repeated birth and death.”

So the undertaking of this action
is
Dharm.

A man attains to ultimate liberation
by worshipping God well
according to his inborn inclination.
In other words, remembering and meditating on God
by the appointed mode
is
Dharm.

To dedicate oneself thus to God
is
Dharm.

The process by which the Self is enabled
to attain to the Supreme Being
is
Dharm.

The awareness, that comes to sages
after their hunger for union with God has been quenched
because of their achievement of the ultimate state,
is
the only reality in all of creation.
So we have to seek refuge in these men of enlightenment
and
wisdom in order to learn how we can make our way
along the path that leads to final bliss.
That path is only one and embarking on it
is
Dharm.

Dharm
is
an obligation-a sacred trust.

It is propitious and the mind that applies itself
to
this enjoined task is also one and unified.
Bhagavad Gita sings that Offering the functions of the senses
and
the operations of the life-winds to the fire of yog-self-restraint-kindled by
the knowledge of God
is
Dharm.
