Dharm ke paanch aadhar - 5 pillars of Dharma

Been watching Star Plus's latest series Mahabharat. Loved the way Dharma was articulated..

Gyan - Buddhi ko sthir karta hai
Dheeraj - Man ko sthir karta hai
Prem - hirday ko sthir karta hai
Samarpan - shareer ko sthir karta hai
Nyay -- Atma ko sthir karta hai

There are 5 facets to Dharma:
1. Knowledge - provides stability to your Intellect ;
2. Patience - helps stabilize your mind ;
3. Love - provides stability to your heart
4. Surrender - provides stability to your body;
5. Justice - stabilizes your soul

When all these five virtues are stable, you will be in a state of eternal bliss or happiness.
