The dharma (धर्म) taught in Veddas is of a two-fold nature, characterized by pravrtti (प्रवृत्ति), which is outward action and [[nivrtti (निवृत्ति)]], which is inward contemplation. dharma (धर्म) brings about even stability of the world, which are meant to ensure the true [[अभ्युदय|abhyudaya (अभ्युदय)]], socio economic welfare and [[nihsreyasa (नि:श्रेयस)]], spiritual freedom of all being.
