Dharma is the saviour of the jivas troubled by the miseries of the ocean of the wordly existence. It is the friend who always remains close and is extremely affectionate.
Rains quench the earth and tbe earth is never drowned by the oceans. This is undoubtedly because of dharma.
Flames do not tend to go transverse and wind does not tend to blow upward. This is because of the intangible force of dharma.
Without any base or support, locus standi of earth as the focal point of human world is maintained by nothing else but dharma.
Sun and moon rise every day for the benefit of humanity. It is dharma that enforces such order.
Dharma is like a brother to the brotherless, friend to the friendless, protector of the desolate and benefactor for all.
