## Dharma 'Phal' and Dharma 'Vichar'
**Yoga Shastra, Fourth Prakash, Verses 94 to 102**
**Verse 94:**
* **Translation:** Due to the influence of Dharma, even in the *Sushama Kala* (a time of prosperity), when they are in the form of plants and stones, *Kalpavriksha* (wish-fulfilling tree), *Chintamani Ratna* (a precious gem), etc., give desired results to *Dharma Atma* (souls who are righteous). Even in the *Dushsama Kala* (a time of adversity), they are not even visible, yet they provide desired results (in the form of wealth).
**Verse 95:**
* **Translation:** Dharma saves a human being who is falling into the vast ocean of misery. It is the only friend who is always close by; it is extremely affectionate.
**Verse 96:**
* **Translation:** The ocean does not drown the earth, and the clouds benefit the earth. This is undoubtedly the effect of Dharma alone.
**Verse 97:**
* **Translation:** If the flames of fire were to go sideways, the world would be burnt, and if the wind were to move upwards, it would be difficult for living beings to survive. But this does not happen. The reason for this is the inconceivable influence of Dharma.
**Verse 98:**
* **Translation:** Without any support, without any base, the earth, which is the base of the entire universe, stands firm. There is no other reason for this except Dharma.
**Verse 99:**
* **Translation:** The sun and the moon rise in this world every day for the benefit of the world. This is undoubtedly the effect of the rule of Dharma.
**Verse 100:**
* **Translation:** Dharma is the friend of the friendless, the companion of the companionless, and the protector of the orphan. Dharma is the only one who is affectionate towards the entire world.
**Verse 101:**
* **Translation:** Those who have taken refuge in Dharma cannot be harmed by demons, yakshas, snakes, tigers, lions, fire, or poison.
**Verse 102:**
* **Translation:** Dharma saves a human being from falling into hell and the abyss. Dharma bestows unparalleled wealth, even the wealth of omniscience.
