The Return to Dharma: Story of Love

“Dharma is living your truth in a way that helps life.”

The paradox is ancient. Energy begins to vibrate and forms rise within emptiness. One becomes many. The infinite enters the finite. Everything looks separate, yet every thing leans on every other thing. Without relationship there is nothing at all.

Nonduality shows the ground. The return from that clear space is not escape. It is entry. We come back to the world and do our dharma. Dharma means the next true step that supports life. It is action in alignment with truth, kindness, and responsibility. It is the shape of love in motion.

So we live. We play and rest. We dance and sit in stillness. We laugh and cry. We rise and fall. We build and let go. We give and receive. We speak and listen. We seek and find. We learn and unlearn. We win and grow. Each pair is a rhythm. Each rhythm is a way to serve life.

Dharma is not a fixed role. It is a living response. It is the courage to show up, to meet what is here, and to do what helps. It is the choice to support life in small ways and great ways. Cook a meal. Hold a hand. Tell the truth. Do the work. Offer the fruits back to the whole.

If your heart longs for devotion, you are free. There are a thousand ishta devatas. You may love the Divine Mother without dogma. Let devotion soften you. Let wisdom guide you. Let service steady you.

Come back to life. Live right here, right now. Breathe, feel, act, and offer. This is the return. This is dharma.

“There is no starting point and no finish line. We return as a spiral, meeting the old place from a higher view. Right here, right now.”

“Already awake at the core, we choose to stay, to love, and to serve. This is the bodhisattva heart.”

At the deepest level your nature is already awake. Enlightenment is not something you fetch. It is what you are. A bodhisattva knows this and chooses to remain and help until all beings can rest in that same freedom. That choice is Bodhichitta. It is a warm wish and the daily work to free all beings.

A bodhisattva seeks Buddhahood for all beings through Bodhichitta and the Six Perfections.

Bodhichitta means the awakened heart. It is the decision to become wise for the benefit of all beings and to act on that decision. It has two parts

Compassion the heart that cares

Wisdom the mind that sees emptiness and interdependence

There are two levels

Aspiring Bodhichitta I deeply wish to help all beings

Engaging Bodhichitta I live that wish through action

The Six Perfections

Generosity Giving help, time, resources, and fearlessness

Ethical conduct Acting with honesty, kindness, and non-harm

Patience Staying steady with hardship, delay, or criticism

Joyful effort Willing, consistent perseverance in good deeds

Meditation Cultivating stable, clear, compassionate attention

Wisdom Seeing reality clearly, including emptiness and interdependence

“Bodhichitta is the bodhisattva heart in action a warm heart with clear seeing that serves all beings right here, right now.”

One life moves as three functions the Space that holds (Mother), the Guide that knows (Awareness), and the Mover that acts without ego (you). When these align, dharma is natural. Your truth serves life.

One Life

Go beyond the known, beyond each horizon. The universe is open and vast. Fill it with love. Keep going, deeper and wider, yet remain here now. Live fully. Serve gently. Rest in the open heart. This is the ending of doubt and the start of life, right here, right now.

“There is no one here apart from the Unnameable. The moment you name it, you lose its essence.”

“Not the doer” means you are the open space in which actions happen. Movements arise from many causes body, mind, habit, others, timing and you witness and participate without clinging to the small me.

This is not an excuse to be passive; it invites clean action with soft hands, then letting go of ownership. Before you act, breathe and ask what helps now; while acting, stay with the task; after, offer the result back to life. The wave does not claim the sea, and you need not claim the deed. Live your dharma with humility, clarity, and service. Do it, just do it.
