MANAV DHARMA (MAN’S DUTY)

It is an undisputed fact that our life in this world attaches us with the world. We cannot altogether negate the concept that our life, being short term in nature, does not acquire the merit of being viewed as an absolute truth. However, we may not be making an error if we accept our life as a short lived reality. If, we, together with fellow human beings, accept our life as a practical reality that can be nurtured with a view to making it a happy experience for all, we may, perhaps be able to create an environment that may keep all of us happier than ever before. In general, it may be agreed by all, that to build an environment for happy living, we, individually, have to feel responsible for all that exists with us; and devote a part of us for the well being of all. This is not a new concept. The concept of Man’s Dharma, (Manav Dharma; the duty of a man towards his surroundings) has been accepted, in principle, in all the humanitarian societies.
