Acharya Prashant explains that Dharma is the movement of the mind toward its center, which is the Self or 'Svabhava'. While the center is universal and unchanging, the paths to reach it, known as 'Svadharma', are unique to each individual's mental state. He emphasizes that true Dharma must originate from one's own consciousness and understanding rather than being imposed by external traditions or scriptures. Following a borrowed or external religion, which he terms 'Paradharma', is dangerous because it provides a false sense of security and social acceptance without leading to spiritual liberation. He asserts that 'Svadharma' is the path of dissolution where the ego is gradually shed, making the individual lighter and more free. Acharya Prashant further clarifies that scriptures and religious texts are merely pointers and can only be understood correctly in the light of one's own 'Svabhava'. He warns against using books as a substitute for genuine faith or as a way to hide from the truth. Many people cling to religious identities like being Hindu or Muslim as a form of 'Paradharma', which often leads to a life filled with fear and dependence rather than the fearlessness of true spirituality. To find one's 'Svadharma', one must first surrender to the 'Svabhava' and seek guidance from within. Every action and thought in daily life falls under the domain of Dharma, and the right decision in any moment can only be determined by an intelligent, centered mind that is not burdened by past residues or mechanical rituals.
