What is Dharma?

The Interpretations of or Ideas about Brahman

I am drawn to the conclusion from the Gita and other works of Dharma, that Dharma is the interpretation of or ideas about Brahman (everything and nothing). The difference between these interpretation is the difference between not just all schools of Dharma but also all philosophies, religions, etc, everywhere.

To describe Dharma as philosophy, or religion would be wrong due to oversimplification. But to describe it as an Interpretation of Brahman, will encompass all these observations of Dharma and the observation of the individual variability of Dharma. As each individual’s interpretation of or ideas about Brahman differ, just as the individuals differ from each other.

A Stoic’s Dharma is Stoicism, a Rationalist has Rationalist Dharma, a Zen Buddhist has Zen Buddhist Dharma, etc. However, it is impossible to know something with a 100% certainty. Thus, any Dharma can be truth, and any Dharma can be false. As it is impossible to determine, one must accept, accommodate, and understand all Dharma in the quest for truth. This maybe fruitful or fruitless, one cannot know with 100% certainty, but it is an attempt at Truth which considers the most amount of factors. Thus, a wider net most likely to catch some Ultimate Truth about Brahman.
