"Dharma" in Hinduism and Jainism:- Calling the Leftist bluff in the recent Tarun Sagar-ji controversy

************************************************************************************
So social media is aghast at Jain monk Tarun Sagar-ji's husband-wife analogy to explain the equation between
dharma and politics
So shall we ignore him because he is from one the most minority religions Jainism(0.40% as per the 2011
census). More importantly what did he mean when he said "If there is no control of dharma over politics, it
will be like an elephant out of control". Is it religion that he was referring to? If so which religion, Jainism
which he follows or Hinduism which CM Mr. Khattar follows? Or was he referring to something else when he
uttered the word "Dharma".
So what is dharma? Dharma is potential. The best of what anything or anyone can do. Fire can burn; that is its
dharma. Trees can grow and bear flower and fruit; that is its dharma. Birds eat, fly, mate, migrate, take care of
young; that is its dharma. What are humans supposed to do? What is human dharma? Humans can imagine a
reality alternative to the reality we experience. So we have choices. In case of humans, dharma is the seed of
thought that determines what will sprout as action. It is not what you do that is dharma; it is why you do it that
is dharma. What is that thought?
For that we have to appreciate what only humans can do. What no plant or animal can do. What is that? It is
the ability to reject the law of the jungle: that might is right, that only the fit can thrive. This is called matsya
nyaya (law of fish) in Sanskrit. That is why Vishnu takes the form of fish in his first avatar. As a small fish
escaping the jaws of a big fish, Vishnu asks Manu, father of humanity, to save him. Only humans can respond
to cries of help. When we do, we validate our humanity. Animals and plants do not help other animals or birds
(except the young of their herd or pack), not because they are cruel or indifferent, but because they do not have
the wherewithal to do so.
Humans can help the helpless. Humans can choose not to dominate. Humans can choose not to be territorial or
violent. Humans can share. Humans can help the unfit thrive. To do so is dharma or "Righteousness". Simple.
Even Tarun Sagar-ji's religion Jainism mentions Das-Dharma (ten righteous virtues) These are:
Uttam Kshama (forbearance)
Uttam Mardava (supreme modesty)
Uttam Aarjava (straightforwardness)
Uttam Satya (truth)
Uttam Shauch (purity)
Uttam Sanyam (supreme restraint)
Uttam Tap (austerity)
Uttam Tyaga (renunciation)
Uttam Aakinchanya (non-attachment) and
Uttam Brahmcharya (supreme celibacy)
