Oh boy! Th Barry Quiz show! Dharma for me, is the evolutionary path dictated by ones accumulative karma. One is the creator of his own destiny. One is born into his dharma as he created it by his karma. Your life, your family ,society, country, your race, religion, all dictated by your past karma. You live it to the best of your ability and if that was good enough you move on. Playing the game with the cards your dealt with and playing it well moves one along that path.

Just as a question, what exactly is it that makes either Maharishi or the Bhagavad-Gita an "authority," one whose opinion should be valued or followed as if it were "truth?" While we're at it, since both of you are talking about "dharma" as if it were a Done Deal, and you understand what it is, what is it? Define "dharma" for us. If you can't, please tell us who or what you believe IS capable of defining "dharma," and telling someone whether their actions are either in accord with it or not in accord with it. And follow up by telling us why you believe this "who" or "what" should be regarded as an "authority."
