== DHARMA -is code of good conduct ==
All the rules of righteous conduct in every sphere of human activity evolved from times immemorial in this country, falls within the meaning of the word "Dharma". Dharma unites. It applies to all human beings. It sustains life. It does not create conflict. Dr. Radhakrishnan says,<blockquote>''Dharma is right action Dharma or virtue is conformity with the truth of things; adharma or vice is opposition to it.''</blockquote>Many values of life were evolved on the basis of fundamental principles. The most cherished values were summed up by Sarvajna Narayana thus :<blockquote>मातृवत्परदारेषु परद्रव्येषु लोष्टवत् | आत्मवत्सर्वभूतेषु यः पश्यति स पण्डितः ||</blockquote><blockquote>''mātr̥vatparadāreṣu paradravyeṣu loṣṭavat | ātmavatsarvabhūteṣu yaḥ paśyati sa paṇḍitaḥ ||''</blockquote>Meaning: One who treats every woman (other than his wife) as equal to his own mother, treats (rejects) another's wealth as if it were a clod of earth, treats every living being as his own self is really a learned/wise person
This advice if followed by an individual, does not land him in misery or loss of mental happiness.
The rules of Dharma were meant to regulate individual conduct in such a way as to restrict the rights, liberty, interest and desires of an individual as regards all matters to the extent necessary in the interest of other individuals, i.e., society, at the same time making it obligatory on the part of society to safeguard and protect the individual in all respects through its social and political institutions. Shortly put, Dharma regulated the mutal obligations of individuals and society. Therefore, it was stressed that the protection of Dharma was in the interest of both the individual and the society.<ref name=":3" />

Through the practice of Dharma alone can you ever hope to achieve the crowning glory of all human endeavours, viz., Moksha which is the best and the highest of all desirable things. Practice of Dharma leads to the perfect realisation of essential unity or the final end, the highest good, namely, Moksha. The practitioner experiences peace, joy, strength and tranquillity within himself. His life becomes thoroughly disciplined. His powers and capacities are exceedingly intensified.
