Duty

What is duty? Dictionary defines it as "Moral or Legal obligation". This may be the definition in english, but in the spiritual sense Duty has a different meaning.

There is perhaps only one duty. That of listening to our inner voice.  The courage to actually listen to the inner voice when so many societal and situational influences cloud our thinking. To have the courage to act on what we actually believe in. 

I have strong conviction that we always know what needs to be done in any situation. What needs to be said. What should not be said. What should be called out. What should be ignored. When to fight. When to let go. If only we have the courage to listen to our inner voice and act on it, we will be following our duty.

Dharma is duty. Karma is also duty. Duty is the way to brahman.
