Your Dharma

“One’s own dharma performed imperfectly is better than another’s dharma well performed…It is better to strive in one’s own dharma than to succeed in the dharma of another.” -Bhagavad Gita

“Happy. Just in my swim shorts, barefooted, wild-haired, in the red fire dark, singing, swigging wine, spitting, jumping, running — that’s the way to live. All alone and free in the soft sands of the beach….”
–The Dharma Bums, novel by Jack Kerouac

While the word “dharma” is not easily defined, it can be understood as behaving in accord with the orders and customs that sustain life. Being virtuous. Doing one’s duty. Living harmoniously with the cosmos.

Consider it your duty to find and follow your dharma. Because when you’re lit up, you light us up too.
