Synopsis

Svadharme nidhanaḿ shreyah – that is, “If human beings die while following the path of Bhágavata dharma, that death will open up the path to liberation.” Paradharmo bhayávaha. And the mind of a person following animal dharma will become degraded – and that person, after death, will be reborn as an animal or plant. So, paradharmo bhayávaha [“do not live as an animal”]. Here svadharma does not mean Shákta Dharma, Vaishnavite Dharma or Hindu Dharma.

Shrii Shrii Anandamurti

Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that it is better for human beings to live and die following manava dharma (human dharma) in lieu of trailing the dharma of others beings. Anandamurti then explains that although humans and animals share some characteristics, it's incorrect to call human beings "rational animals". Animal life is body centered while human life is an ideological flow, therefore humans are to follow Bhagavata dharma (divine characteristics). Anandamurti goes on saying that Bhagavata dharma has three distinctive attributes: Vistara (expansion), Rasa (flow) and Seva (service). Following their divine dharma, human beings pave their own path toward liberation.[1]
