The reward of Dharmam

Then I asked Eashwarmma what was God doing to those few who were following Dharmam. She said, "He does look after them. he gives them manas shanthi (peace of mind) and soumithyam." She did not need to think. It was a clear and immediate answer from a clear philosophical foundation. I was looking for an answer based on material benefits, she left me far behind.

 

... So the Indian mind is able to consider Dharmam, and the satisfaction of following Dharmam, its own purpose. Even roti. kapda, makkan come next.
