What is dharma?

Dharma is like your special job or role in life, something that helps you and others be happy and balanced.

Imagine you're playing at a park with your friends. Each person has a job in the game: one person is the goalkeeper, another passes the ball, and someone else runs to catch it. That’s their dharma, what they do best to make the game work. Just like that, in life, everyone has their own dharma, which might be being kind, working hard, or helping others.

Dharma isn’t just about what you want to do, it’s also about what you should do to keep things fair and happy. If the goalkeeper in your game decides to run away instead of blocking the ball, the game might get messy. Similarly, if someone forgets their dharma, life can feel out of balance.

But don’t worry, dharma isn’t a strict rule. It’s more like a friendly guide that helps you be yourself and do what feels right for everyone around you. Dharma is like your special job or role in life, something that helps you and others be happy and balanced.
