Dharma, Destiny and Free Will

What is the difference between dharma and dharmic? What is the part that destiny and free-will plays in our lives?
Once upon a time there was a King and he had paid large sums of money to a monastery. He had many temples built. One day, Bodhidharma visited him. The King asked him how much spiritual merit the King must have gained by doing all of this. Bodhidharma said none whatsoever. When you do a religious act, please do not make the mistake of thinking that it is also spiritual. Religion is a symbol. It is a way of life. If you fund a court of law, it does not mean you are serving justice. Your life's foremost daan, donation or charity is to the ones who are living. When you make a difference to somebody's life you have served God. If you believe in God then clearly I would hope that you also believe that we are his children. Serving his creation is the greatest service to humanity.
Behind the execution and fruition of any karma, there are five elements in play. Your approach, the doer, the resources, your efforts and the fifth is destiny. Any karma you do with your words, actions, and gestures or with your mind, good or bad, right or wrong has these five elements together in play.

Swamiji Koti Koti Pranam, You are an eye opener, “When you do a religious act, please don’t make the mistake of thinking it is also spiritual” But in India most of us are thinking the other way, many people doesn’t think of inner cleansing. Do this Pooja, do that Pooja, you should be like this, like that... OMG I don’t think there is anyone who could speak and think and clear our doubts like you my Lord. You have got all answers. Thank you so much Swamiji. Love you😘
