What is Dharma? How do we know what God wants us to do?

People traditionally associated dharma with caste or lineage. We are brought to understand that you are forever trapped to follow what is bestowed or expected from you.

Dharma is far from that concept. Dharma is doing what you want to do, and what makes you passionate.

If you do what you enjoy doing, then you get to excel in what you do. You may be born in a family of engineers, but enjoy painting, then painting should be given priority.

We do disservice to the community when we do things we hate. We end up doing the task in mediocre quality, and the community suffers.

If you are passionate about cooking, about teaching, regardless of what it is, you will find yourself happier, you will find yourself excited to wake up every morning, and helping make this world a better place.
