India will be vishwaguru till the time dharma drives us: Mohan Bhagwat

Holding forth on the concept, the RSS chief said that dharma was the only force that drove both him and Narendra Modi. “The same forces drive you too,” he told the audience. “If we stay with this force, we will never meet with an accident. The name of the driver is dharma; dharma is the driver of the entire universe and has set rules for the universe.”

The RSS chief added that dharma was not confined to religion but was the guiding principle of all creation. “Every entity in Nature has its own inherent duty and discipline,” he said. “The State can be secular but a human being or any living being cannot be without dharma. The dharma of water is to flow, the dharma of fire is to burn. There is a son’s duty, a ruler’s duty, and rules of conduct. Our ancestors understood this through spiritual research and great effort.”

Bhagwat said that India had inherited a very rich spiritual legacy from ancestors and would continue to receive “guidance from saints”. “We must always remember that we are just a medium,” he said. “We are not God, we are just doing his work.”
