The quote
“A persons success in life can usually be measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations he or she is willing to have.”
— Tim Ferriss · Fear
The concept
Dharma
The right thing to do, in your particular life, right now.
Dharma is the most translated and most mistranslated word in Indian thought. It is not religion. It is not duty in the dull civic sense. It is the right action — for you, in your nature, at this stage of your life, with the people in front …
A practice for today
When the next difficult feeling arrives, ask yourself: the lesson of Dharma — The right thing to do, in your particular life, right now.
From the Bhagavad Gita
Verse 3.35
श्रेयान्स्वधर्मो विगुणः परधर्मात्स्वनुष्ठितात्। स्वधर्मे निधनं श्रेयः परधर्मो भयावहः॥
“Better one's own dharma, even though imperfectly performed, than the dharma of another well performed. Better death in one's own dharma; the dharma of another is fraught with fear.”
