Dedicate Yourself to Dharma



What should we do to live in peace and grant peace to everyone around us? 

"People must dedicate themselves to dharma and always be engaged in dharma, so that they may live in peace and the world may enjoy peace! One cannot acquire real peace, nor can one win the grace of the Lord, through any means other than the dharmic life! Dharma is the foundation for the welfare of humanity; it is the truth stable for all times. When dharma fails to transmute human life, the world is afflicted by agony and fear and tormented by stormy revolutions. When the effulgence of dharma fails to illumine human relationships, humanity is shrouded in the night of sorrow. God is the embodiment of dharma; His grace is won by dharma. He is ever fostering dharma. He is ever establishing dharma. He is dharma itself! The Vedas, scriptures, epics, and traditional stories proclaim aloud the glory of dharma. In scriptures of the various religions, dharma is elaborated in language familiar to its adherents. The duty of everyone, everywhere, and at all times, is to pay homage to the personification of dharma!"


~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~

(Dharma Vahini, Ch. 1 )


The dharma of fire is heat and light. The dharma of ice is cold. The dharma of sugar is sweetness. In the same way, the dharma of humanity is sacrifice born out of truth and morality. - BABA
