UNDERSTANDING ONE’S SPIRITUAL IDENTITY IS CALLED DHARMA.
Every person is actually Brahman, spirit soul. We are not actually the body. Awareness of aham brahmasmi (‘I am Brahman’) is actual self-realization. According to Vedic culture, one must understand that he is Brahman, not the body.We should not remain in ignorance like cats and dogs, thinking, “I am this body”, I am American, I am Indian, I am Brahmana, I am Kshatriya, I am Hindu, I am Muslim” and so on. These are all bodily designations. When one comes to spiritual understanding, he understands aham brahmasmi, “I am Brahman”. This is called Brahman realization. It is not that we become Brahman by some practice. Gold is gold even if it is covered with some dirt which can certainly be removed. Similarly, we are all Brahman, spirit soul, but somehow or other we have come in contact with these material elements (bhumir apo’ nalo vayuh), and we have acquired bodily coverings. Consequently, we think, “I am this body”. This is ignorance and unless one is enlightened by spiritual knowledge, he remains animalistic.
Understanding one’s spiritual identity is called dharma. The ultimate goal of dharma is enunciated by Sri Krishna Himself in Bhagavad-gita (18.66). Sarva dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja: “Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me”. On this earth we have created so many dharmas- Hindu dharma, Muslim dharma, Christian dharma. These are all manufactured dharmas, but real dharma is attained when we come to the conclusion that Sri Krishna is everything. Again, in the words of Sri Krishna in Bhagavd-gita (7.19):
bahunam janmanam ante jnanavan mam prapadyate
vasudevah sarvam iti sa mahatma sudurlabhah
“After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me, knowing me to be the cause of all -causes and all that is. Such a great soul is very rare”.
