We continue our discussions on Swadharma, True Identity, Self Identity and practical tips on how to explore and expand our own sense of self.

\\n

The real swadarma is the Aatman - and drop all other things that you are thinking as swadharma

\\n

How do we connect Swadharma and Swaroop?

\\n

If we don't do our Swadharma, we can ever be at peace. It is going to be restless/guilt. If you follow the path of Swadharma, it will take you to Swaroop. It removes the vikshepa (distractions) and hence it calms your mind and then it takes you to the right path

\\n

Sometimes when we chase a goal, we put all efforts into it and when we reach the goal , we feel an emptiness. Then we take on to some other goal. These are the transition points from Swadharma towards Swaroop.  All identities are maya till you reach the Swaroop. When you reach he Swaroopa, the emptiness dissolves.

\\n

Most of us live someone else's life. We then realize that we have anchored on something else and move the anchor to who we truly are. Sin is many times associated with guilt.. We do things in an avidhya state .. That's all. 

\\n

We discuss if society is responsible for our problems or are we responsible for our problems. The gist is that do what your heart wants and if the so called society comes in way, you anyway have the freewill to move to another society that allows you to do what your heart wants.. There is always plus and minus to everything. If you think you will be at peace with what your heart wants, then that is your Swadharma. 

\\n

Seeking any worlds objects is due to Vasanas..   Pleasure is related to Vasanas and Engagement is related to Mano nash.. 

\\n

How do we lesser mortals find our Guru?  Guru is more of a concept rather than an individual. We must make the soil of mind, fertile to find the Guru.. The germination will happen at the right time, right place - the seed is already there if one is asking this question!
