Dharma is a Sanskrit word that refers to an individual's duty in life according to divine or cosmic law. When people say they know what their dharma is, they usually mean they are aware of what their special work or their mission is and how they are to fulfill their reason for being.

For example, it may be one person's dharma to get an education and become a scientist who discovers the cure for cancer or AIDS. The dharma of another person may be to become a teacher who helps others get the education they need to be successful in life; or a doctor or nurse, so that they can help the people they need to help - the people that they promised to help before they were born.

But, your dharma may not always be the same as your profession. For some people, having children and raising them with love and kindness may be their dharma; or their dharma may be volunteering with handicapped children or with the Fire Department so thay are able to help save certain individuals in times of tragedy. There are probably as many different dharmas as there are individual souls - and all are equally important.
