Dharma

So the last few months have been very interesting for me, a lot of changes going on, a lot of learning....

In Yoga your always taught that things are impermanent and that even though you may plan on something, that may not happen. Though I know this..I've been proactive and making plans on what I want to do in the next few months, and of course two separate people who did energy work on me in the last few weeks have been telling me other things, which frustrated me and today I was really wondering what it is I'm suppose to do....
What is my dharma?????..and hopefully that answer will come to me soon :)

Dharma

Dharma is a very complicated word, for which there is no equivalent word in any other language, including English. Dharma actually means that which upholds this entire creation. It is a Divine law that is inherent and invisible, but responsible for all existence. Dharma exists in all planes, in all aspects and at all levels of creation. In the context of human life, dharma consists of all that an individual undertakes in harmony with Divine expectations and his own inner spiritual aspirations, actions that would ensure order and harmony with in himself and in the environment in which he lives.

The Upanishads saw dharma as the universal principle of law, order, harmony, all in all truth, that sprang first from Brahman. It acts as the regulatory moral principle of the Universe. It is sat, truth, a major tenet of Hinduism.
