Dharma - The Law Of The Cosmos

Please understand one more truth, dharma. Dharma is the legal opinion about Existence's way of working! Dharma is not a belief system. If you talk to a lawyer, you will have an idea about how the country works. Similarly, if you go to a spiritual person who has experienced the love of the cosmos, and talk to him, relate with him and receive his ideas, you will have an idea of how Existence works!

Whatever I talk is the legal opinion of the cosmos. That is what I call dharma. So, internalizing dharma is not just believing some facts. Knowing the facts as to how the cosmos works, knowing the facts as to how the laws of nature work, is called dharma. Be very clear, if you believe that you did something bad today, and so tomorrow something bad will happen to you, then it is not dharma.

Feeling connected to what really happens, internalizing and understanding it is dharma. You may not be able to understand with your limited logic today, but when you expand your logic to understand dharma your mental setup changes. The cognitive shift happens easily.

One important thing that you need to know is when the cognitive shift happens, when you change your mental setup, the non-mechanical parts of your brain will be awakened.

The mechanical parts of your brain will be active from the moment of your birth just because you

are a human being. But when you start to understand the cosmic dharma, the great truths, the non-mechanical parts of your brain will be awakened. This is called as the second birth, dvija, the rebirth. That is why, in the Hindu tradition you are called dvija (twice born) when you are initiated into spirituality. It means that now you begin to understand the dharma of the cosmos. Your thinking becomes new. It is not based on fear or greed like animals.

Animals don't need to think because they don't need to do anything. All they do is function based on fear and greed. If you act based on fear and greed alone, the mechanical parts of your brain are more than enough for you. But to go beyond fear and greed, you need the non-mechanical parts of your brain to be awakened. Awakening the nonmechanical parts of your brain is called as the kundalini awakening.
