Acharya Prashant explains that 'Swadharma' (one's own nature or duty) originates from one's own being. He uses the metaphor of being at 'home' to describe one's true, original state. In this state, the individual 'you' is nothing. The farther one moves from this 'home', the more the individual self, or ego, comes into existence. He illustrates this with the analogy of a snowball. Just as a small piece of snow rolling down a mountain peak gathers more snow and becomes larger the farther it travels, the individual self becomes more defined and burdened the farther it strays from its source. Therefore, the more you find yourself to be a distinct entity, the farther you are from your true home. 'Dharma' is the process of returning to this home. To know your 'Swadharma', you must observe what you have become. All the identities and accumulations that constitute 'you' are a burden. 'Swadharma' is the process of freeing yourself from this burden by 'melting' or 'cutting' away these acquired identities. This is a process of self-purification, as Rumi said, 'cleanse yourself with your own water.' The goal is to be free from all the answers one might have for the question, 'Who am I?' Dharma is not about deciding what to do in a particular situation. Instead, it is about acting in such a way that the problematic situation itself ceases to arise for you in the future. Every situation that you notice is a disturbance or a problem; otherwise, you wouldn't even be aware of it. Your 'Dharma' is to transform yourself so that you are no longer the person for whom that situation holds any significance or can cause a disturbance. This leads to being established within ('antah-sthit'), where external events no longer create waves in the mind. These disturbances often come disguised under attractive names like love, care, responsibility, and competition.
