The law of Dharma and the Vedas

Some people say that dharma arises from action, and prove their point by referring to the actual facts of life. And so believe that the idea of dharma is not permanent.

Dharma is indeed linked with action, for we often say that a person does his dharma, and that implies action. Action is part of our nature, as all of us are engaged in some kind of action or the other at the same time, and we see it in prakrti (or nature) in all its modifications. We also see that success in action is often the result of a number of persons acting together. At the same time we find that there are some who believe that we should be indifferent to all that is in the world. But, even he who is said to be indifferent acts. He might appear to be inactive, but is not really so. And we believe that he has not acted, because he has not succeeded in achieving his object (or objective). We have to go beyond the commencement of an action to understand all this. As the sun may appear to be inactive, but it is in fact acting all the time; and so are all the creatures on this world acting accordingly.
