Svábhávika Dharma and Bhágavata Dharma is a discourse given by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti on 1964 December 9 in Salem, India. This discourse is the first 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.

Shrii Shrii Anandamurti

Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that Dharma can be separated into two categories: svábhávika dharma (pertaining to the sustenance of the body) and Bhágavata dharma (longing for infinite happiness). Human beings are different from animals in their ability to achieve unlimited happiness (ananta). Anandamurti then explains that Bhágavata dharma consists of four elements: Paramátmá (this quality is only attributed to the Supreme Consciousness) ), vistára (expansion), rasa (cosmic flow) and sevá (service). Anandamurti goes on saying that 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]
