Dharma and "Sarva Dharma Sambhaav"

Dharma and "Sarva Dharma Sambhaav"


The word "Dharma" - does not necessarily imply that,  Dharma = Religion. Or, equals religious bigotry. NOT true.

Concept of Dharma surpasses religion. Religion is but one of the facets of / path leading to Spirituality. Set <-> Superset.
Dharma and spirituality is meant for those who have a broader and wider evolved mind/ mindset/ vision.

Dharma also => rule of law, righteousness. Captain AV has a fantastic article on Dharma on his blog.

I understand Dharma in only one context. Dharma also implies "Sarva Dharma Sambhaav".

In layman terms, this means - tolerance and equanimity between all the religions. As it ought to be.
As has been in our land since time immemorial. Our land is governed by our sages and seers.

These sages/ seers often talk of "Mustika Gyaan" but few bother to live up to it.

Just making a contextual point...
Imagine a Paramhamsa, a self-realised soul saying "Aham Brahmasi" or "Brahmoshmi".
And, then we have a realised Fakir who can proclaim "Anal-Haq", "Anal-hakka".

Sri RamaKrishna Paramhans, Swami Sivananda Saraswati were self-realised souls.
And, then there was Sarmad.

POINT -
For spirituality, religion is the means, not the end.




"Mustika Gyaan"


Mustika = fist.

Let's say that the Thumb => sages, seers.

The other four finger implies set of people with certain predominant "vrittis" ( natural bent of mind ) coming from
diverse streams - caste/ class groups, religions, clans, tribes, etc.

Index Finger ->

Middle finger ->

...

The four fingers must join together in mutual cohesion and in accordance with the thumb. This is THE only way. The way forward.
