When the collection of wrong views (samyagdasti) goes away and self-knowledge (atmabuddhi) arises in the soul, then you are neither the doer of karma nor the enjoyer of its fruits. This is the essence of Dharma.
“When the attachment to the body (dehadhyas) is gone, you are not the doer of karma;
You are not the enjoyer of its fruits, this is the essence of Dharma.” - Shri Atmasiddhi
Thus, to live in one's own nature (svabhaav) is Dharma, and to live in the state of division (vibhaav) is Adharma. That which is divided (vibhaav) is conditional (nimittik) - it arises from a cause (nimitt), and that cause is related to the object (vishayasangaadik). This impure cause (ashuddha nimitt) causes the soul to wander in the cycle of birth and death (samsara) - to be entangled, and to become the doer of actions (karma). But when this pure, conscious, and luminous soul (chaitanyagana atma) dwells in the pure cause (shuddha nimitt), then it becomes aware of its own nature (nij bhaav).
“The Dharma that you have, which is based on the results (parinaamik), is not our Dharma. Our Dharma is to dwell in the light of faith (shraddha bhaasan raman viyege), and to be free from the attachment to the divided state (valagya vibhaav adharma).
...O Lord! I beg you, color my mind. That which is divided (vibhaav) is conditional (nimittik), the state of continuity (santati bhaav) is beginningless (anaadi); the cause (parnimitt) is related to the object (vishayasangaadik), O Lord! - due to the impure cause (ashuddha nimitt), the soul wanders in the cycle of birth and death (samsara), becoming the doer and enjoyer of actions (karma).
When it dwells in the pure cause (shuddha nimitt), O Lord! - then it becomes the doer and enjoyer of its own nature (karta bhokta gharno)....” - Shri Devchandraji
Thus, knowing this ultimate essence of Dharma and Adharma, the person with right view (samyagdasti) abandons the causes of Adharma, which are in the form of division (vibhaav), and takes refuge in the causes of Dharma, which are in the form of one's own nature (svabhaav). In other words, he takes refuge in the means of growth (vridhi) of right knowledge (samyag jnana), right faith (samyag darshan), and right conduct (samyag charitra). He abandons the causes that hinder the realization of his own nature (atmasvaroop) and takes refuge in the causes that help him realize it. And among these, he takes refuge in the Supreme Lord (parmatma prabhu), who is the pure, natural, and manifest essence of Dharma (shuddha svabhaavaroop vastu dham pragat), with firm faith and devotion (dridh aashrayabhakti), considering him as the ultimate support and foundation (param avlambhanbhoot aadharbhoot). And while worshipping him, he constantly chants (ajpa jap jape) the mantra, “O Lord! O Lord of our innate nature (sahaja anmasvaroop swami)! The pure Dharma that manifests in you, let that pure Dharma manifest in us too....O Lord! By worshipping the pure Lord (shuddha dev), we abandon the external (parhava), and by experiencing the joy of dwelling in our own Dharma (atmadharm raman), our own nature (atma bhaav) manifests....O Lord!” - Shri Devchandraji.
