The Gnani And The Nature Of Dharma
Many people claim their daily life interactions (vyavahaar)
is their dharma (religion). But you cannot say that until you are
Self-realized (nischay dharma). How can you say that your
worldly life is your religion if you do not have the knowledge of
your (real) Self? The Gnani uses his infinite powers to create a
line of demarcation between the real (the Self) and the relative
(non-self), and after that it will always keep them separate.
Then they are eternally separate. Thereafter, your worldly
interactions become your relative religion and the activity of the
Self is your real religion. It is only then that you understand the
difference between the two. The Gnani will separate the territory
of the Real from the relative and you will inherently come to
understand what belongs to your real Self and what belongs to
your relative self. How can anyone claim vyavahaar dharma
(the worldly life) until he acquires nischay dharma (the real)?
Until then it is regarded as laukik dharma (worldly or relative
religion).
