The Path of Dharma (or) The Illusion of the Two Paths
In today’s world, the path of truth (satya) and righteousness (dharma) often appears:
🌹 Like walking on flowers for those who cheat (short-term ease)
🌵 Like walking on thorns for those who follow dharma (short-term struggle)
Yet, scriptures promise: “Dharma protects those who protect it.”
Why Does Dharma Feel Difficult?
1. The Deceptive Comfort of Adharma
-
Adharmis (wrongdoers) seem happy—flaunting wealth, power, and temporary success.
-
Example: Corrupt politicians enjoying luxuries while honest officers face transfers.
2. The Invisible Shield of Dharma
-
Dharma may not prevent struggles, but it ensures:
-
Inner strength to endure (like Bhishma in the Mahabharata)
-
Ultimate victory (like Lord Rama’s exile ending in triumph)
-
“Dharma is a strict mother—her discipline hurts now but saves you forever.”
3 Truths from Scriptures
1️⃣ Short-Term Pain, Eternal Gain
-
Prahlad was tortured but became immortal in devotion.
-
Modern parallel: Honest employees face delays but sleep peacefully.
2️⃣ Adharma’s ‘Flowers’ Are Poisoned
-
Ravana’s golden Lanka burned to ashes.
-
Modern parallel: Scammers enjoy riches briefly—until prison calls.
3️⃣ Your Struggle Inspires Generations
-
Guru Teg Bahadur’s sacrifice saved Sikh dharma.
-
Today: Whistleblowers suffer but change laws for millions.
How to Walk the Thorny Path?
✔ Reframe the ‘Thorns’: Every challenge is a test of your commitment.
✔ Seek Sangha: Join those who walk with you (satsangs, ethical workplaces).
✔ Remember the Endgame: Dharma’s ‘thorns’ lead to a freedom adharma can’t offer.
“A diamond forms under pressure. So does a dharmic soul.”
The Final Victory
History proves:
-
Hitler’s adharma collapsed in 12 years.
-
Gandhi’s dharma birthed a free India.
Your turn: Will you choose the temporary flowers of lies or the eternal garden of truth?
