so thank you very much dharma as nature is perpetual and dharma as religion or entity may not be is contextual, it’s not eternal so how do we understand it relationship, interrelationship of all this so how this affects the temporary aspects of dharma relate to the eternal aspects do they extrapolate not necessarily that means if somebody is a Kshatriya in this world, they will be Kshatriya in the spiritual world for that matter somebody is a preacher in the spiritual world there is no preaching in the spiritual world so our dharma in this world may not relate to the dharma in the spiritual world or in its we have a Swaroopa, it’s quite different from what it is here at the same time there is a process of purification that is universal that means if we see in Chaitanya Chavitamrith in the instruction of Sanatana Goswami in chapter 20 of the Madhyadheela 22-25 actually it was chapter 20 Sanatana Goswami stated how to describe the characteristics of the Vedas Vasas and we usually think that yes, the Madharas is the highest and Shantarasa it is like my backyard we think like that but actually the characteristics of Shantarasa is also described as two things it is quite exalted the characteristics of two things complete detachment from matter and complete attachment to Krishna that itself is a very exotic state so the basic process of purification to come to the platform of attachment to Krishna and detachment from matter that is common for everyone afterwards in what form attachment to Krishna will specially manifest in my case that may be depending on the source in our disposition so rather than worrying too much about what our Swarupa is like somebody always asked Jai Gurudev Maharaj Maharaj is our initiative determined the name which we get is initiated let me determine the last part is determined laughter laughter laughter so we have to realize that the part that we are servants of Krishna and how exactly we serve Krishna that will depend on its own so our contextual dharma to the extent that it is anukul to bhakti we accept that and to the extent that it is pratikul to bhakti we keep a distance from it so without getting too much into the analysis of how this relates with that in a specific one to one sense we focus on that there is a path to be followed so the para dharma is the destination and at that destination our natural attraction to Krishna in whatever form it is that we remain but the main thing right now is to rise from where we are to that level and from that whatever form of dharma are anukul to us those we accept and we raise our krishna is called is it answer to the question
