Dharma
is not a matter of time and space to be modified and adjusted to the
needs and pressures of the moment. It means a number of fundamental
principles that should guide mankind in its progress towards inner
harmony and outer peace. When man stays away from Dharma, he meets with
greater harm than even physical slavery. These principles are called
Sanathana because their origins are not dated, their author is not
identifiable; they are the revelations made in the clarified intellects
of impartial sages. They are basic and eternal.
