Dharma and Adharma

For the protection of the good, for the destruction of the wicked and for the establishment of dharma, righteousness, i come into being from age to age. Bhagavad Gita 4.8
Dharma literally means mode of being. It is the essential nature of a being that determines its mode of behaviour. So long as our conduct is in conformity with our essential nature, we are acting in the right way. Adharma is noncon-formity to our nature. If the harmony of the world is derived from the conformity of all beings to their respective natures, the disharmony of the world is due to their nonconformity. God does not stand aside, when we abuse our freedom and cause disequilibrium. He does not simply wind up the world, set it on the right track and then let it jog along by itself. His loving hand is steering it all the time. S Radhakrishnan
Dharma is our true place in the cosmic process: in time, space, awareness, thought, deed and desire....In order that we fulfil our role in the divine play we must behave within our Dharma. That is, we ought to do the right thing, at the right time, in the right way, and for the right reason. By this we attain balance. Ramesh Manocha
