DHARMA
IS SELF AWARENESS & ADHARMA IS UNAWARENESS
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 one
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! The "coming" of the Lord is not a second coming of Jesus
or any avatar but the realization of our own Lordship
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, heart and mind or the many other opposites… also what we call good
& bad or up and down! 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 deep within us and beyond the 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 …
which is 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!
