Dharma is the Eternal Law Dharma is a universal order of being based on morality, duty and purpose. A person comes into the world to fulfill his path: to receive one must give. This is why sacrifices are so common in ancient texts: sharing with the world is part of fulfilling the dharma. Awareness of one's dharma gives security, stability and an understanding of where to go in order to avoid mistakes and disappointments. Not only people have dharma - all phenomena in the world are natural and have their own role: the sun, water, fire do not exist by chance. Indian lotus.
