Svábhávika Dharma and Bhágavata Dharma is a discourse given by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti in 1969. This discourse is the third chapter of Ananda Vacanamrtam Part 33.[1]
Synopsis
The object of both, svábhávika dharma and Bhágavata dharma, is the same: to get sukham [pleasure]. But in svábhávika dharma the intensity of sukham is limited, while in Bhágavata dharma it is beyond any measure, it is ananta. As a man thinks, Nálpe sukhamasti Bhúmaeva sukham [“One does not get infinite happiness from limited objects; one gets it only from something infinite”]. One can be satisfied with Bhágavata dharma alone.
Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that Human beings are progressing in great speed. This progress can be seen in many areas such as food, culture, transportation and communication. Anandamurti then explains that it's necessary to adapt to new changes in the environment. Ásana and práńáyáma help in this adjustment. Anandamurti goes on saying that economic pressure as in the dowry system is not accepted in Ananda Marga. service is of two types: external service (physical, martial, economic and intellectual service) and internal service (directing the mind toward the Supreme goal in meditation).[1]
