Dharma and Karma

By Ajay Amrite

Never has the message of Bhagwath Geeta been clearer to me than the judgement passed by Justice Roberts in the US supreme court. ‘Do your Dharma’ and please note that ‘Religion’ is the crudest translation of this word, the true meaning is ‘Duty’. For Arjuna this translated to ‘You are a warrior, your job is to fight, leave the rest to me’ (it was left to the statesmen like Bheeshma, Vidur and Yudhishtir (Dhrmaraj) to think about all that).

In the case of Obamacare, Justice Roberts said that it was not the job of the justices to decide on the merits of the law, but only to judge (decide) if the law was constitutional or no.

In recent times I have not seen a clearer implementation of Bhagwath Geeta’s message. Role and Purpose.
