Dharma (righteousness) can never be destroyed. If it is subject to destruction, then it cannot be called dharma at all. At certain periods of time, it may seem to have disappeared due to the decline of its practice by man. When thick clouds cover the shining sun, people may not be able to see it for some time. But nothing can ever stop the sun from shining or stop its light forever. In the same way, the sun of satya (Truth) and sunlight of dharma can never be destroyed. Satya and dharma are interrelated and interdependent, like God and Nature, matter and energy. Therefore, it is not possible to separate satya and dharma. Satya, in fact, is the foundation on which the mansion of dharma stands. There can be no danger or hazard to the mansion of dharma, which is built on the foundation of satya. Satya and dharma are the natural attributes of human beings. By nourishing and practising satya and dharma, one should oneself derive bliss and share it with the world. – Divine Discourse, Jul 24, 1996.
