Metaphysics ranks as one of the core branches of philosophy, after epistemology, ethics and logic. The word ‘core’ is deliberately used here to underscore the point that metaphysics is such a fundamental area of philosophy as distinct from the applied areas such as philosophy of science, philosophy of law, philosophy of education etc...

Metaphysics is what Aristotle called “first philosophy.” Metaphysics involves a study of the universal principles of being, the abstract qualities of existence itself.

About: ‘Srimad Bhagavad Gita’ is a holy manuscript of Hindus comprising of 700 verses. It is a constituent of the divine Hindu epic, Mahabharata and given in the form of a narrative. Bhagavad Gita is the essence of Lord Krishna’s replies and explanations that followed questions of Arjuna, the Pandu Putra (son) before the epic battle.

Arjuna is indecisive about fighting a war against his own blood and extended family...
Materialism and its hidden wounds can be a subtle obstruction; whatever has not been seen and embraced will hold us back one way or another. Materialism and its hidden wounds can be a subtle obstruction; whatever has not been seen and embraced will hold us back one way or another...

Dhamma pertains to all things,
and all things pertain to Dhamma.
From this perspective —
there is no road to realization;
realization is the road.
Yes, by all means & at all costs,
seek the Dhamma of realization,
then put it into action.
That is my humble consideration, Rakesh.
1. Our dharma is what we think and do. Not what we say our dharma is. If we think and chase sence gratification then it becomes our dharma. We we think and chase money it is our dharma and if we think and chase fame or excellence or good of others or an art or some dream it is our real dharma. This we can change our dharma. We can choose to think and do different.

1. Our dharma is what we think and do. Not what we say our dharma is. If we think and chase sence gratification then it becomes our dharma. We we think and chase money it is our dharma and if we think and chase fame or excellence or good of others or an art or some dream it is our real dharma. This we can change our dharma. We can choose to think and do different.
2. All religious paths and practices are called dharma as they prescribe a framework of thinking amd doing which according to them will lead us to a better life.
3. Thus all value systems are also considered dharma.
4. The purpose of dharma is to establish a way of life that brings harmoney and pease within us and with the society and environment around us amd also with humanity as a whole and the entire universe.
5. Sanatan dharma (literally meaning eternal or timeless or ever applicable dharma) stands for a value system of thinking and acting and learning amd evolving in a way that leads to the overall harmoney mentioned in point 4 above. It promises excellence and Abbi sence as one May desire and the ability to win over endless cycles of rich followed by poverty or happiness followed by sorrow or youth followed by decay and death.
Some dharma philosophies are based on believing and some on questioning and discovery of truth.
However dharma philosophy is a guide map to establish an order of life.
Thus knowingly or unknowingly all of us including those who call ourselves atheist also follow a dheema though pur actions and thinking and beliefs . However we r free to evolve and change our dharma and it does change over a period of time based on our experiences and learnings.

A jar exisitng in space,
A jar is a object existing in space, space is Inside as well as outside of the jar, space is a reason due to which jar is existing at first place.
Similarly Brahman the supreme truth,
Owing to Brahman only everything comes up and sets down, it is inside and outside of everything, establishing it's omniesnce.
Third,
One sun illuminating all,
One Brahman illuminating everything because of its nature being conciousness, hence Brahman the supreme truth is called sun of sun, because owing to light of Brahman does the sun ' exists ' bestowing it's light on objects so they become visible.
Hence by above three points,
Is established the oneness of supreme truth which is Highest goal of life

Thinking that abundance is anti-spiritual is a limiting factor, he argued. It is scarcity that is anti-spiritual. You cannot have a negative feeling about a place and want to reach it. There is no merit in thinking that your spiritual progress will halt if it is materialistic. But there is a twist — you have to grow with spiritual roots...
