Abstract - Self Realization / आत्मानुभूति
Sva-Dharma / त्याग
In this context, the Bhagavad Gita refers to Swa-dharma (duties that accord with one's nature) and Para-dharma (duties prescribed for others) and says that Swa-dharma is conducive to the ennobling of the individual, while Para-dharma is fraught with fearful consequences. Adhering to one's dharma is commendable,
while practicing Para-dharma is full of dangers." Swa-dharma does not mean the dharma (duty) relating to any caste, community, race or religion. Swa means soul. It is the dharma that is related to soul, that is Swa-dharma (Divine duty). Para-dharma is dharma related to the body consciousness. All duties associated with the external world are comprised in Para-dharma.
These duties will inevitably involve one in the bonds of संसार (worldly life). Though they may confer temporary pleasures they are bound to result in fear and anxiety.
In performing good deeds do not develop ego, In performing Yaagas, Yajnas and other Vedhic rituals, there is the danger that they may become instruments of bondage. We must ensure that in performing these good deeds, we do not develop ego or attachment. 'When anything is done with attachment or desire, it results in actions which lead to rebirth. Yaagas and Yajnas are expected to take one to Swarga (heaven). But how long can the stay in heaven last? When the fruits of the good deeds have been enjoyed, one has to be born again on earth. When the accumulated merit is exhausted, one re-enters the mortal world.
