In the east we
realized and believed that the most powerful thing in the world is thoughts. The source of
these thoughts is also important. A Hitler or a
Stalin use the power ofthought in a different manner than a Buddha Nanak or Mahavir.
Thoughts bring about certain concepts some of which are contemprary and some are eternal.
There are some concepts and wordswhich have a composite
meaning. They mean a lot of things simultaneously.
If the word gets out of use for a long time then the
meaning gets lost too. People do not see a practical utility of the word. The world runs
perfectly without the concept or the use of the word.
It can always be given a contemporary but wrong meaning.
And, that may be the final blow. Dharma is one such word which was in common use for
several centuries.
There were division of people on the lines of dharma; one
the dharmic (one who follows the dharma), and the othr were adharmic (one who rejects the
dharma). |
