Dharma. The first is that your ultimate purpose is to
discover your higher Self. Pursue the god or goddess
inside you that wants to express the sacred purpose for
which you were born. Awaken to the unbounded, eternal
witnessing awareness that is the essence of who you are
and know yourself as a timeless, eternal Being in the
midst of time-bound experience.
The second component of the Law of Dharma is to
acknowledge and express your unique talents. Take the
time to honor your innate gifts by making a list of those
things that you do well. One way to connect with your
dharma is to consider those things that you really love to
do. Make a list of the things that bring joy to you and to
others while you are doing them. It might be singing,
playing the piano, teaching gymnastics, or cooking. You
may be naturally good at deep listening or caring for
those in need. Whatever your unique talents may be,
expressing them brings happiness and satisfaction to you
and to others. When you are in the flow of your dharma,
expressing your unique talents, time loses its hold on you
and you enter into timeless awareness.
The third component of dharma is serving others.
True dharmic actions naturally bring benefit both to you
and to those affected by your actions.
The inner dialogue of a person in his or her dharma is,
“How can I serve?” and “How can I help?” The answers to
these questions will allow you to serve your fellow human
beings with love and compassion. Expressing your gifts in
service to others is the highest expression of the Law of
Dharma. When your creative expressions match the needs
of your fellow humans, abundance flows into your life.
