What is your dharma?

6/28/2018

I have mentioned the term Dharma quite a few times on my blog posts lately. And since this topic interests me so much I decided to write little bit more about it. The core ideas for this writing I’ve gotten from Simon Chokoisky’s book: The he Five Dharma Types vedic wisdom for discovering your purpose and destiny.

I think the term Karma is quite well-known in the western world but most of us haven’t probably heard the term dharma after that one TV-series years back. Not to mention knowing the meaning behind this word.
​

Dharma means one’s duty in this life. Dharma is the purpose in life. And honestly let’s face it, life without purpose is meaningless. Dharma is about what we do in life, the end goal in life. It’s also about how we act in our lives to each other, to ourselves and to other living beings. I think it is also about finding that supreme happiness in life. Happiness that can only be found through dharma.

Our modern very materialistic world tries to provide us a meaning to life through wealth and possession, but it doesn’t get us closer to answering questions like who am I or why am I here? It is really interesting how the world around us gives us different identities making us bosses, parents or good girls and therefore making us also behave in certain way, in a way that is expected because of those labels. But those labels don’t really tell anyone anything about the fact of who we really are. It therefore is also taking us further away from our dharma.

When talking about dharma it is important to realise and understand that there really is purpose to life. What I find particularly interesting is that, without purpose we find our lives to be nothing but chaos. And the question I want to bring to your attention is what our lives are like nowadays, what life is like for most people nowadays? Chaos, stress, schedules, rush? How many of us have lost oneself into this chaos? How many of us is addicted to something (training, shopping, alcohol) because of this? Because, let’s face it, without dharma life is really only series of random moments that have nothing to do with any sense of natural order. Life becomes stressful and empty if we aren’t aware of our purpose, and no money can buy meaning to life. Once we understand the purpose of our lives, suddenly everything starts fall into place. By following our dharma, we ensure our own well-being and we understand and see all the good there is around us.

Dharma states that everything you need is already within you. Your dharma is already planted into you and all you have to do is water it. And when you start to realise your own purpose, you also have the opportunity to get to know yourself. If you want to find your purpose in this life or understand it, you need to have the courage to listen yourself and your innermost self. 

My dharma is leading me now to Bali where I’m going to teach yoga for the next month or few months. ❤

Have you already discovered your dharma or are you eager to discover it?
