DHARMA= NO ME/EGO SELF DHARMA= LIVING IN AWARENESS= WHAT IS MEANT BY THE LORD
DESCENDING ON EARTH TO TACKLE ADHARMA
Let’s view dharma, adharma through the ‘no me/ego self’ angle:
Dharma = being in sync with our true
(divine) nature, living as authentic Self and all that flows from this state of
being. Adharma = being out of sync
with our true (divine) nature/authentic Self, living the duality experiences of
indivuated/ ego self and the thoughts, feelings & actions that arise from
this sense of separate self. Thus
automatically, as ‘me/ego/personal identity’ dissolves, so do feelings
thoughts & actions that we deem ‘adharma’ and we increasingly move into
abiding in Dharma!
Let’s go deeper: No me/ego self/personal id = thus no one to judge
things as good & bad = thus nothing like bad/ ‘evil’= thus all
living in sync with Authentic Self = a state of Dharma!
Thus imho when the scriptures say that the ‘lord comes
to earth, when adharma rules or when ‘evil’ in mankind is reaching some
zenith’, it actually implies that the ‘Lord’ comes - not externally but internally
as expanded Universal Consciousness within each of us- enabling the me/ego/duality
self to dissolve and thus increasingly abide as Authentic Self… thus usher in a
state of Dharma in mankind!
Thus imho when the scriptures
say that the ‘Lord comes to earth, when adharma rules or when ‘evil’ in mankind
is reaching some zenith’, it actually implies that the Lord comes not ‘against’
evil or on the ‘side’ of good, but as Universal Consciousness enabling personal
consciousness to dissolve and thus enter a state of Consciousness that is
beyond duality/opposites and its seeming good & evil! And this (no me/ego
self/personal identity = no one to judge things as good & bad= nothing like bad/ ‘evil) is what’s called the victory of dharma over adhrama or
seeming good over seeming evil!
Let’s go deeper: When we are
able to view Dharma as our eternal authentic divine nature, and adharma as the shorter
term play of opposites/duality/maya (with the ego as its means and thus not our
authentic nature)… we can better understand that the adharma
that is peaking for which the lord comes in the scriptures is not ‘bad/evil’
but refers more to the deepening of the ego/self personal consciousness/me experience
and its separation & ignorance (& thoughts, feelings & actions
stemming from there!)
If we
truly understand this, we will not view this is a ‘war’ between good & bad …we
will not wait for a day where there is no ‘bad or evil’ …we will not wait for
the ‘victory’ of good… we will view it as the interplay of duality that is the
inherent nature of the duality experience! Duality-creation-life as we know it
cannot be without opposites - be they stillness & motion, yin &yang,
the many other opposites… or what we call good & bad! Indeed we will then
view that each pair, of each opposite, plays its own role…in the fabric of
life…even seeming good & bad! And we will understand somewhere beyond words
that only in moving from ‘me/ego self/personal identity’ into Universal Self…
only by abiding beyond duality …is the true move from adharma to dharma …not a state of
good over bad but beyond good and bad! Which paradoxically
implies no bad!
Thus No me/ego self/ personal id= no one to
judge things as good & bad = no ‘evil’= DHARMA = THE ‘NEW’ CONSCIOUSNESS OR
MANKIND RETURNING TO ITS ORIGINAL STATE
as universal consciousness… living in full awareness of its duality
experience as but a sojourn and not its true nature! Dharma =Living in
awareness!!
