कबीर इस संसार में, घने मनुष मतिहीन I राम नाम जानै नहीं, आये टापा दीन II
Having love for all human beings—including all and excluding none—is Dharma. Helping others ahead of personal gain is the Dharma of those who follow the path of selfless service. Defending nation and society is the Dharma of soldiers and warriors. However, the highest Dharma is when we perform our duties for the welfare of humanity lovingly and selflessly and, most of all, dedicate the action and its fruit to the divine. One who has attained this highest form of Dharma performs his duties in the world and yet remains above it. All his thoughts and actions become a part of Dharma. His whole life is a field of Dharma.
"Kabir says, Dharma has been a great force in uplifting the human race. Dharma can help us today as it did in ancient times, but only if we start living the truth, not merely believing in it. Turning away from Dharma and distancing ourselves from the truth takes away our peace of mind and leads to misery. In the practice of Dharma, we are advised to shed the veil of ignorance and practice truthfulness in our thoughts, speech, and actions. While people often confuse 'Dharma' with justice or with obedience to the lord, it actually means discovering your humanity and how human you are. It is to keep expanding our consciousness, keep learning and growing consistently and help others along the way as well. The highest Dharma is performing our duties for the welfare of humanity and dedicating our actions to the divine."
