Dharma is how you must live your life – in order to live 'righteously'.
It is the best way you can conduct your daily activities, to live a morally effective life.
Karma, or action, is why you must live your dharma that certain way.
Karma is how you got yourself into your particular fix.
And karma is complicated; it’s a mixture of your own actions, the actions of others and the prerogative of deities particular to your personal existence.
Dharma is even more complicated then.
Because as you act (karma), you alter your righteous lifestyle requirements (dharma).
So you have to be very careful, very conscious. Very self-aware and gently - but relentlessly - self-scrutinizing and self-correcting. Keeping track of both. Karma and dharma.
It's like spending money on a credit card. Every time you make the action of spending (karma), your balance debt changes. Now, the life you must live in order to pay off that debt has altered (dharma).
From a multi-dimensional perspective, viewing a person comprehensively as a chemical and psychic conglomeration of the current and past lives, dharma is understood as what is necessary for that individual to do in this world, through activity or non-activity, in order to succeed in making spiritual advancement.
Dharma means we have to live a certain way in order to mature as a spiritual being.
Dharma requires disciplined lifestyle for refined self-awareness, otherwise dharma is easy to lose track of.
The requirements of our individual dharma's are set by nature (but not necessarily supported by nature), and by divine forces.
So how do we figure out what our dharma is? How do we tap into the unseen reality of these forces? There don't seem to be many maps leading out of this dimension....... ......but I have found one.
And it has great reviews and a reputation for success.
The great eight armed Yoga meditation process, in its highest stages, with continuous simultaneous application of all eight parts, reveals to us our own existential situation and how we should advance forward, upward, toward higher living environments by living our dharma, our duty, in the here and now.
Requirements that when complete will, in a sense, fulfill the wills of nature and God, balance the forces within and allow for an opportunity to slip away from the traumas of this undesirable material creation (3rd dimension) and find oneself eligible for entrance into a higher dimension, or ultimately, into the world of spiritual consciousness. The 'chit akash'.
An example of a person's complex dharma is that of the epic warrior Arjuna from the most important of Hindu texts, the Bhagavad Gita:
If your dharma is like Arjuna’s in the Bhagavad Gita, your direct dharmic instruction to you from God Himself was to kill many of your own cherished (yet corrupt) family members in a great violent battle. Arjuna the greatest warrior didn’t want to do it. As prepared as he was, he was uncomfortable with his own dharma, as many of us often can be.
As many of us do every day.
So to make a long story short....
If spiritual liberation from this dimension is what you’re looking for I can tell you that I've not come across another method more comprehensive than Yoga.
For most spiritual liberation isn’t even a thought, especially since so many people are trying to become gods on earth - not realizing they are here because they are anything but.
Exploiting material nature is a great past time for most who incarnate here. Do as thou wilt eh? According to the top level mason and influential Satanist Aleister Crowley?
But Yoga isn’t about getting the most out of this world - it’s about the glorious self and its salvation out of here to a higher, more refined plane.
An awakened core self, atma, knows this is not its ultimate abode. That this place is not its home so it seeks its dharma and makes moves to be released from this dimension. It doesn't find fulfillment at this level.
On the other hand, an awakened and unchecked kundalini (urge system) feels quite at home here and seeks to exploit the environment as much as possible - come what may.
If our dharma, right living, involves activity in society, we do it for purposes of self-purification, for living the dharma, for burning the karmas.
Not for redeeming greatness here.
In Yoga it’s every soul for itself.
As Yogins we’re making serious arrangements toward checking out of the hotel matrix here in 3D.
We’ll leave the Earth as we found it and allow Mother Nature to continue on her way. We don't have the power to change it, as much as we'd like to think we do, we don't, we are peewee entities with little free will, therefore we must utilize what we have available to us to transcend it and sense out a higher dimension to strive for.
There are better places to exist, but we often must make efforts to get there. Dharma, right living, is the key!
