"Dharma is Subtle!"


In the daily conduct of life a person who can think will always find himself/herself at the crossroads with 'Dharma'. The way one acts or the choices one makes, are these an outcome or a contribution to the so called 'Dharma'? Many a times one might feel, let things go to hell, I am least bothered; And carry on whatever they are upto, but can we really be so free from our very own acts? If you can take sometime to ponder this question of 'How free you are your acts?' won't you come up with some sort of self-realization?
At times our vision of actions is engulfed in smoke and we tend to loose our sight and way and reach destinations unknown and unheard of in our journey of life, Is there a way of undoing such acts? If you are given a chance to go back into past and change your present, How willing would you be to take it up?
We honorable humans have the great tendency to divide humans, acts and outcomes into good and bad, right and wrong etc., But how many of us think, if what is the basis of this division? How sure can you be if what you deemed right today is right tomorrow also, and it will remain constantly right irrespective of time, place, person and environment? 'Dharma' is such an elusive and subtle topic, it can sometimes be compared to a wet dough of wheat, which can be molded into any shape the hands feel is right, but the appropriateness of the usage of 'Dharma' in such a broad context will always remain questionable!
