Joy of Dharma

December 30, 1979

[D]harma is your own concentration, inward. Like you want to donate something to someone, it’s just between you and God, there is no expression of it outside at all….But you are not looking after yourself, looking after everybody’s dharmas. Then the same thing will happen, that the joy of dharma will only be felt if you limit it to yourself. That cannot be shared. Virtues cannot be shared. Can I share My virtues with you? I cannot. You can support it. Somebody has the virtuous man, then you can support him. But the joy of that dharma, that rasa, falling into your heart, nobody else can enjoy it. You enjoy your own chastity.

It is of course written, “Thou shalt not do, thou shalt not do…” These are all commandments have come, but they can come only from God not from you. Once you start doing it to others, you are finished! You have lost the joy of your dharma.
