Q: is dharma something which can be understood by looking at the
dosha one is born with?
A: Dharma is something much greater than mere physical dosha. Dharma is your life purpose - there are several dharmas - personal, spouse, parent, neighbor. For each dharma you can do things to help yourself, spouse, children, community/world.
You know this by asking why you were born, or what are your God-given talents, or, what do you LOVE to do in life (not just like to do). When you do these things, life takes on greater meaning and purpose. You feel you are actually touching others' souls, and your soul is being touched and awakened. In essence, you come alive more and more.

How to decide what is good and what is bad in life... Just follow your intuition

What if our dharma is not so ethocentrically based, and quite possibly is comprised of helping others achieve their greater good? I know done this countless times, although my credentials place me in an entirely different area. It does leave me empty, however
AUTHOR: if u r empty, something is amiss - helping others is a find dharma; but if you are not energized, then u r not TRULY helping self or others (ie the truly needful and needy).
