Swadharmaha

Humans have the highest level of consciousness. All the other living creatures have been endowed by nature with significantly lower levels of consciousness. This higher level of consciousness in humans is manifest in our ability to think, plan, forecast, feel and emote, express through verbal communication, create new things that are useful for life.

This also means man can think of life beyond its apparent physical needs of eating, sleeping and procreation. It is natural that man thinks of leading a fulfilling life. What does fulfillment mean? How does one lead fulfilling life? Limiting our identity with just the gross aspects of life that are focused on just physical needs - as an individual or in relation with a group requires one to go through endless cycles of pleasure and pain. Every human will certainly want an unbroken joy… and that would come from dwelling in one's real nature.

Every human being is unique; they can flower as a life with enough focus on one's own passions, abilities and destiny. Destiny not as a fatal concept, but as a flow of life in which we naturally swim along and not resist life. One's Dharma is to lead a life as per their own destiny, in the most unique way possible. This results in a fulfilling life.
