Dharma

All living beings live according to their Dharma, according to their nature. Birds fly, foxes dig burrows, fish live in water—this is their Dharma. A human must also live in accordance with their Dharma. Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita: "It is better to perform one’s own Dharma imperfectly than to perform another’s Dharma perfectly. Following someone else's path is dangerous."

But unlike animals, who act naturally, a human possesses a mind, and this mind often interferes and destroys one's life. When a person's mind falls under the influence of others and they do what does not correspond to their Dharma, it leads to suffering. To become natural—that is the path of Dharma. Children are always natural; therefore, they always follow their own Dharma—and they are always happy.
