Acharya Prashant addresses a question regarding the meaning of 'Swadharma' (one's own dharma) and 'sahaj karma' (natural action) as mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita, specifically verses 18.47 and 18.48. The questioner understands these verses to mean that one should act according to their natural inclinations or strengths. Acharya Prashant clarifies that this interpretation is a common but grave misunderstanding. He explains that 'Swadharma' does not refer to acting based on one's natural inclinations, likes, or dislikes. Instead, Swadharma is the duty of the ego that leads it towards the Self (Atma). He asserts that personal interest ('ruchi') is actually 'paradharma' (another's dharma), which Shri Krishna describes as terrifying. This does not imply that one should do what they dislike; rather, Swadharma transcends the duality of likes and dislikes. The basis for choosing one's action should be necessity, not personal preference. That which is necessary is Swadharma. Further, he explains that 'sahaj karma' does not mean an action that comes easily or naturally in the worldly sense. In Vedanta, 'sahajata' (naturalness or spontaneity) is exclusively related to the Atma. Therefore, 'sahaj karma' is spiritual action, an action that arises from one's true center or the Self. The verse advises that one should not abandon this spiritual action, even with all one's faults, just as fire is always accompanied by smoke. Even with a hundred vices, one must continue on the path of the Self. He concludes by stating that the work of life is not chosen based on superficial strengths or weaknesses but on the necessity of Dharma, which is to move towards liberation.
