So what does
Dharma mean. As I implied earlier Dharma means many things. It means the ultimate law,
the logos. By ultimate law is meant that which keeps
the whole universe together. Invisible it is, intangible it is - but it is a certainty.
Other wise, the universe will fall apart.
Such a vast, infinite universe, running so smoothly, so
harmoniously, is enough proof that there must be an inter-current that connects
everything.
We are not islands; the smallest grass is connected to the
greatest star. There is a relationship.
Destroy the smallest grass leaf on your farm and you have
touched something of immense value to the existence itself.
In existence there is no hierarchy, there is nothing small
and nothing great.
The greatest star and the smallest grass leaf exist as
equals; hence the other meaning of the word Dharma.
It also means Justice, the equality, the non
hierarchic existence. Dharma knows no classes. |
