Righteousness (Dharma) is eternal, it is

same for everyone everywhere. It

expresses the significance of ones inner
Divinity (Atma). The birth place of
righteousness (dharma) is your heart.
What emanates from the heart as a pure
idea, when translated into action is called
dharma. If this is to be explained in a
manner that all can understand, you can
say, Do unto others as you want them to
do unto you! Dharma also consists in
avoiding actions which would hurt
others. If anyone does things that causes
happiness to you, then you in turn,
should do such things that will cause
happiness to others. When we recognise
that certain acts others do cause
difficulties, and when we too do the same
deeds, that clearly is adharma!
Sometimes,
and
under
some
circumstances, an individual who
commits a wrong must be told in very
clear terms that he has done something
wrong, so that he improves.
